            Greetings,

              
              Variations for solo sequenced piano :

                
        Strange, eclectic... but I like it. A
          mixture of dodecaphonism, avant-gard, and some passages more
          easy listening classical piano.

          
        I'm curious about composition; this is
          something you wanted to achieve as it is (20 mins with some
          guiding thread or idea behind), or they are various fragments
          that you arranged as a whole?

          
    It's a planned composition, as much as you can plan this sort of
    thing, and the length was indeed a part of the plan. It's not an
    assembly of fragments though, there's a guide through it all. The
    opening motto is recycled continuously, with very free treatment,
    appropriate to the form (variations).

    
    There are numerous quotes in the piece too. Did you spot any ?

    
        Also interested about instruments and
          programs you used.

          
    QSynth with 8mbgmsfx.sf2 soundfont, Calf reverb. Sequenced with a
    DOS sequencer in DOSemu, recorded with ecasound, trimmed in
    mhWaveEdit. That's it, a very simple setup for MIDI composition
    under Linux.

    
        Thanks for sharing!

        
    My thanks to you and Ralf for the comments, I appreciate that you
    guys took a half-hour of your lives to listen to the piece. I'll try
    to make the next one shorter. :)

    
    Best,
