This 11 note C# minor Saraz is one of the many that we wished we could have kept! The complexities of the C#4 are particularly special. Depending on where the note was played, one could activate an isolated compound 5th or just the right amount of sparkle from the C#5 on the bottom or the low rumbling fundamental of the C#3 center. Going to miss this one!
