 "Mr. Wuorinen's composition, commissioned by the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, was compelling and vigorous as well as obsessed, a 20-minute expression of fury and overflowing energy." Edward Rothstein, New York Times "The work's success is a result of its dramatic coherence and tensile strength, which gradually unfold as it progresses from stasis to kinetic energy." Kansas City Times
