peter,
It is unfortunate to hear that this work did not appeal to you much(sad trumpet noises*). I think I actually did a lot to include the main theme in much of my work: the melody from m. 9 reappears in m. 30, m. 44 and m. 48(as an inversion). The B section itself is based on the same theme, while the C slap-tongue section utilizes a different material. I guess the theme isn’t as easy to follow since it has a quirky meter and twists + turns. Thank you for commenting on my use of extended techniques tho, always good to exploit my performers fullest potential(apart from the percussion).
