Works

The Quintettino was written for and premiered by the Timm Quintet at Louisiana State University. The first movement, “Five-Seven”, consists almost entirely of dominant seventh type (V7) chords. The first and second sections of the second movement (“Rondo”) have a circus-act-gone-bad sound to them: dissonant and rather nasty. The “C” section of the rondo is the only point of repose in the movement.
