Composition for violoncello and piano

When I was 16-20 years old I was much interested in composing my own music. In this composition, called 'anti sonata',  because  in it I  completely disregarded any rules of the sonata form, I explored the idea of polytonality and polyvalence. I wanted to make sense of playing at the same time at least two music motives with different harmonic functions, or in different tonalities. This occurs in my composition at certain points, but not too often. I wrote a great part of the composition when I was at long vacation in countryside (after my 'matura' exam), and only later checked it on piano.

In 90' I inserted my notes into the computer program Cakewalk Professional from which I  produced a mp3 file and notes .  A midi file is also available here,  but it sounds well only on a suitably equipped computer.
 
 A problem with notes in Cakewalk is that only a global (over all composition) split between treble and bass key is possible. Therefore I had to divide the composition into five separate parts and choose for each of them an optimum treble/bass split. The result are the notes close to what I had originally wrote, but not quite the same.
