| Description |
Originally intended to be the first movement of a sonata (the chromatic argument being the second movement), the main thematic material for this work was composed entirely during sleep. Music 'written' during sleep was then penned in a notebook immediately after waking up each morning. Collecting six years-worth of these ideas formed the main thematic elements.
After constructing the primary and subordinate themes, the exposition was treated as a parent function would be in mathematics. Using the concept of graph transformations, the original idea was then stretched, diminished, shifted, rotated, and reflected, resulting in unique musical transformations. |
