Tracks
The album was presented on 7 February 1990 at the Wiener Konzerthaus, where Puschnig and Reisinger played live along with the self-playing grand piano while Pepl operated only the sustain pedal. The review in Tschinnbumm called it a musical quantum leap. The 2004 reissue (Universal/EmArcy, 986 661-1 and -8 respectively) is mistakenly titled “Schoenberg Improvisations”, gives the opener as “PM Syndrom” instead of “FM Syndrom” and adds “Wide One” as a tenth track. Dates given: Zlabinger and AllMusic 1989, concert programme and Daniel Pepl 1990.
