    I love that this piece is two very simple rhythms which, when played together, create the aural equivalent, via two meters, of a gestalt switch drawing. I've played it on piano for decades and can never hear either "simple" hand while playing, just the entire relationship. Listening to it I can hear them each easily, though.
