I love it
I love the entire cycle, but this one (and the cuckoo, too) is my favourite by far. I find the combination of piano, flute, and voice very interesting, it is a pity that there are not many works with this instrumentation.
Congratulations!
Interesting, definitely.
Certainly a difficult work to grasp... but I think I may have found a compatriot in my love of blurred harmony and bitonality... The harmony is definitely of great interest.
