Zivkovic-Zwischen Tag und Nacht (S) OS

This piece is very suitable for young players. Besides the traditional notation in the central part, where 5/4 metrum is used, you also find some contemporary forms of notation (aleatoric) which give the players room to use their own fantasy and creativity, an to learn to react on each other. In the score are also instructions for the lights on the stage and in the audience.
