It has some issues, but I reckon it still counts as being "opus 1" for me. The form of this piece is a self-reflection on a sense of dissatisfaction I had about being a novice composer and needing to expand my vocabulary through trial and error. The first movement was an attempt to write dense, continuous development, with a theme being subjected to a string of rhythmic and harmonic recontextualizations; the second movement embraces a small number of repetitive diatonic tropes and is tinged with some bitterness-a string of increasingly ironic genre-associations culminate in a jolly tune being dramatically belted out in almost unnecessarily odd meters and block chords (which I think would feel terribly overstated were it not for its emergence out of that very limited harmonic palette); the third movement eschews any concern about formal mimesis for a simple chaconne-like collage that freely mixes its own thematic content with recollections of the previous movements, as well as novel, sometimes throwaway fragments of music.
Performance to come some day...
