REVIEW
Daniel Cariaga, Los Angeles Times
"Gernot Wolfgang's "Continuum IV - Cascades" was commissioned and performed by flutist Susan Greenberg, a long time member of the [Los Angeles Chamber] orchestra. It is a gently dissonant, bright and aggressively amiable piece, alternately jazzy and pastoral. Greenberg negotiated its showy complexities effortlessly, playing alto flute, flute and piccolo with equal aplomb."
