I'm assuming - and hoping - that this will be along the lines of his other very Brucknerian works.

I posted this at the Art Music Forum but shirked from posting it here. After all, Klenau adopted 12-tone-technique in his later works (though he did it in way which doesn't eschew tonal effects.)

Well, since it's a world premiere of (I believe) an unpublished work, so all I can suggest is listen first, worry later- erm- or something. (That doesn't sound right. Never mind!)
