Digital Sheet Music [PDF]: ScorePsychosonata : for piano [eScore] / Michael Kieran Harvey.Also known as: Piano sonata No. 2 by Michael Kieran Harvey (2012)

Product details
There is no narrative. The entire work is constructed on the bijective numeration system, that is, all nine Hindu-Arabic numerals without the concept of zero. There is an obsessive exploration of these numerals which constrains and controls the musical terrain in an artificial and additive fashion - almost robotic - rather like what I understand to be the unsympathetic thought processes of the psychopath, or the seemingly disordered thought of the psychotic.
