About
At around 1300 threedaymonk@sonomu.club posted: ‘This is such a peaceful time of day, when we’ve had time to process whatever US American madness we woke up to, and they haven’t yet woken up to create more of it.’
But the craziness keeps coming.
Also about
The score is deliberately written with no bowings, articulations, dynamics or tempo gradations. The idea is that each player has to work the piece out for themselves: to make sense of it in their own way.
See above.
How to pronounce the title
Just ‘headlong’; not ‘headlong dash dash dash greater than closing bracket’. Could be ‘headlong into a brick wall’ which is what it looks like to me.
Notes
