The performance direction is Hypnotic and the incessantly driving rhythms of this piece certainly give it a robotic feeling. It's a challenge as you might expect having been written for such great players but it's full of energy and colour. If you have a really good pianist to hand give it a go - you won't be disappointed.
First performanced in 2002 by Emmanuel Pahud (flute) Paul Meyer (clarinet) and Eric Le Sage (piano)
Performance duration (approx): 4'30
