"In this vivid and lively piece, Buller’s musical ideas combine and play off one other, sometimes aligning, sometimes impetuously interrupting. Ascending musical gestures gush suddenly like jet sprays of fountains, offsetting a persistent feeling of rhythmic undercurrent. Ultimately ending the complex harmonic and rhythmic play is a surprising final major chord." EarRelevant
