Commentary: The letters represent the open strings on all the string instruments and are the motive on which the work is
structured. In addition to this technical description, it portrays the frustration of any living creature confined against its will,
pacing, staring out helplessly, raging.
Review: "Jagged, syncopated rhythms and carefully planned intensities."
