Sequences of letters of the set {abcdefgh} were taken from James Joyce's "Finnegans Wake" and treated as sounds. Durations established, they were arranged into several variations on the tune of Hejnał Mariacki.

FW 429.02-05 [&] Hey Now, Craic-O [Joyce Variations on Hejnał Mariacki]

Expected imitation / soundalike: Witold Lutosławski's variation on a theme from Niccolo Paganini. First performed in Częstochowa, Poland, 2013: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t89xIoSYAiI

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

Barring "mirror" chords/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. Example, 2 pianos (Argerich, Kissin): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpU6jOgCoGg

PAIDE PRESENTS JOYCE --- GI McBart MIDItape Finnegans Wake Remixed

The idea was to remix selected tunes from Krzysztof Bartnicki's soundcloud page. But they're not usual tracks as you may think:
"The sounds here are founded on sequences of 8 letters of James Joyce's 'Finnegans Wake'. As A's, B's C'd, D's, E's, F's, G's and H's of the world's weirdest book get to represent sounds, Joyce appears to have composed melodies we think others did. After he'd died."

'GI McBart MIDItape' is a recorded live mix version as a part of the showcase with Gerard Lebik and Robert Piotrowicz in Wroclaw, Poland on 14th February 2k14. 

note:
first track is: Oriol Rosell - Seidl 3(from [Crónica058-2011] Oriol Rosell - Ulrich Seidl EP)
last track is:  Paide - Szpaki / Starlings

Here is a revised version of my 2012 upload:
https://soundcloud.com/gimcbart/a-redivivus-of-paganinism
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.

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.
