Prelude #4 for 19ET Piano

A short piece based on a blues progression and packed full of African
influences. I'll be writing some longer pieces soon... I promise! ;)

I'll say....you actually make it tolerable to hear blues again. And I like the
way you employ 'African-ness', where one goes down the road hearing a certain
metrical scheme and then, boom , out comes the rug from under your temporal
paradigm !

Long != better (long does not equal better)
As far as I am concerned, you can keep the little ones coming. ;)

I loved it. I want very much to hear a human-played version, if only in my own head (or on my own headphones). unfortunately, when i download the score, i cant see the notes =( what font are you using?

Thanks benjamin... that 'invisible' score problem is a known issue
with Acrobat. All fonts are embedded. Heavy graphics PDF files are
known to cause Acrobat to act like this. If that happens download the
file to your PC. That always works.

I've still got to fix my beaming problems in the score... btw... but
it is the 'right' notes and slurs and articulations.

***This would make an attractive item on a concert (thanks again,
Jeff for coming to the Composers Concordance last one) presuming that
a 19-tET synth is set up and the notation is in "regular" 12-equal to
facilitate things (I believe Jeff said he did that with these
pieces...)
