Product Description
Andante on EGD For Piano is based on an EGD motive, and is organized in a six-note row, in a manner similar to the twelve-tone system Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951) devised in the 1920s. With other note rows included in the piece, the work portrays an eerie atmosphere that one would associate with mystery plays and movies, such as The Twilight Zone.
In performing the piece, care should be given to stressing the melodic lines.
