- « Fragmented motifs repeatedly echoed in a colourful backdrop of a bell-rung texture, as the music shimmered from its angular inception. “Understatement and touching modesty” was the composer’s description of the piece, and indeed the work was less intended for theatrics than a scene of motions. A somewhat accessible piece, it had a feel of an exposition of a lengthier work, however; certainly the work betrayed the physicality of Feldman’s calm monumentalism in its abrupt conclusion after approximately 6 minutes. » - Bachtrack, 2018-04-16

- « Indeed his music doesn’t sound quite likeanyone else’s. [...] There is little dynamic contrast, just a modest increase in volume as fractured, surprisingly tonal ideas pulse gently towards fulfillment. The sonority is impressive with increasingly warm textures flecked by bells and rippling low-decibel timpani. » - Classical Source, 2018-04-15
