Expected imitation / soundalike: Witold Lutosławski's variation on a theme from Niccolo Paganini.

From James Joyce's "Finnegans Wake", the 451.26-454.26 fragment from "There'd be no standing me, I tell you.” to „There is some thing more. A word appart[ing]", only the letters of the set {ABCDEFGH} were left, 1941 of them.

Barring 'mirror' clusters that read the same left-to-right and right-to-left (e.g. ACA, FAF, EE [octave interval] AAA [double octave interval]), no two (different) notes start at the same time. Duration attributed arbitrarily.

The title "redivivus of paganinism" comes from "Finnegans Wake". The number of letters (1941) is to symbolize the year of Lutosławski's composition in the year 1941, wartime Warsaw, Poland. The 8 opening and closing bars are taken from the founding opus.

Here is a revised version of my 2012 upload:

CHANGES:
(Technical) Piano => Rock Organ
(Technical) Ostinato Piano => Church Organ
(Score) 1/256th notes removed
(Score) 1/128ths usually replaced by 1/64ths
(Score) Octave balancing
(Score) Many volta/repeat sections turned into one-time sections. Hence a change in duration:  original 6'50" time reduced to 5'40". That new number may symbolize the "Restored Finnegans Wake" edition--which is ca 540 pages long.

Bartnicki's Joyce Variations on Lutosławski on Paganinis Own Variation on Caprice 24 (Redivisedus)

The melodies here are found in James Joyce's "Finnegans Wake". When sequences of its A's, B's C's, D's, E's, F's, G's and H's represent sounds, Joyce appears to have composed melodies we think others did.
