ISCM indkalder hermed klaverværker til World New Music Days 2010 i Sydney. Deadline 31. december 2009

Momentary Pleasures

Typically composers will spend many days, weeks, months and even years writing pieces of music. But to write an entire piece in one day can be also be a singularly pleasurable experience.
