Originally written for solo clarinet, this work is also available for any of the four standard saxophones. Taimur Sullivan premiered the saxophone version on alto saxophone in 2021. Five phrases of increasing length develop contrasting registers and characters. The composer asks for a spontaneous, jazz-like delivery.
