Abstract

"'E' is dedicated to Eve Wheeler, whose name contains only the one vowel. It is as close as Larry Sitsky (b. 1934) is ever likely to come to any sort of minimalism. The first movement is gently introvert and is a sort of meditation on the one pitch. The second is more violent in mood. The third is fairly sparse and loud, but gradually returns to the mood of the opening. The pitch 'e' is everywhere." -- Larry Sitsky
