I didn't know Ferneyhough had ever used the inter-staff barlines as seen here.

Excepting, of course, in parts of the Etudes Transcendantales - but it's not from there.

But not Lemma Icon Epigram - that has every time signature under the sun apart from 5/32 etc

Second bar of page 12, Oddy - he uses inter-staff barlines there, too.

Look: I've just got in from work, OKAY!?

the lovely synchronized scrunch in bar two

It excites me when you get technical...

There is a decent competition to be had for a new and appropriate (and respectful!) name for the MB member who posted #552 in this thread I feel......

If anyone can identify the composer AND the work this is taken from they will receive a prize from me.

Okay - it's an excerpt from a work which includes a part for piano. There's a bar with a fragment of a two-part inventiony-type texture, followed by synchronized trocaic cluster-ish chords. And there's (hemi-)demi-semi-hemi-demi-semiquavers (1/240 or 1/120 notes? - can't really see) which haven't appeared in his Music in a few years. It's a work I don't know - should I search to the ends of the earth to find the answer, I wonder?

Asking Richard Barrett might be easier! I have to admit that ten (as it looks to me) levels of beam's unusual for any composer, even Brian Ferneyhough - which is what made me think that it couldn't have been him (which shows how much I don't know)...

I noticed those too ,that's what made me think it was Bay City Rollers.

Shang-a-lang-a-lang-a-lang-a

(which is a trochaic rhythm, of course).

Ok then
so how about this one ? (no cheating)

[Flosshilde]

Is it a join-the-dots drawing, only the dots weren't numbered?

You mean 1/256 or 1/128 surely? But in fact the shortest note has ten beams and is thus a 1/4096 note or a hemi-demi-semi-hemi-demi-semi-hemi-demi-semiquaver. (Given that BF's compositional techniques involve independent systems for constructing bar lengths and deciding how far they're to be subdivided I guess it was bound to happen eventually!)

Anyway: it's not a piano part from a larger piece, it's from a piece for solo piano. Do you give up yet?
