ABSTRACT
The author's work in music has been over the past thirty years around the globe and she wish to relate with these bagatelles are more of a personal kind that is inner travels. These journeys are made up of moments, chance encounters, and music that continually changes the path, even the direction, of her life. One can still listen to the legendary duo, David Tudor and Christoph Caskel; perform the work on the Deutsche Gramophone documentation of both versions from 1960. Since childhood, the wonderful world of percussion provided the sounds that have guided, challenged, and thrilled her. Her brief orchestral career opened the ears to the amazing sounds of the instruments surrounding her, bringing her around again to the glorious sounds in the world, then back again to the world of percussion. She remembers the Amsterdam-Premier of the work, almost thirty years after it was composed. She remembers how the musicians transcended time and space.
