fractured 1 for Violoncello Solo by John Strieder
w/Score
The question of knowing to whom my music is intended for, should not be asked. As in scientific research, we try to solve a problem because of our interest in it; and not for its practical application.
So is the question of whether anyone needs what I’m doing, unimportant. I live here and now and I am unwittingly part of a culture, and what I produce will prevail over time or not. The importance of a work of art in a culture can only be judged after it’s done.

I do not believe in natural laws of sound, but I believe in listening habits caused by cultural traditions that are responsible for how certain chords are valued. (Georg Friedrich Haas)
