"Hallucination" from "Three Pathematologies" {Hallucinatie uit "Drie Pathematologiën"} for piano, written in 1915.
Daniël Ruyneman was Dutch composer who was originally intended for a commercial career and started the study of music comparatively late and without a teacher, what instruction he has received being of a desultory nature. This has resulted in a certain degree of awkwardness in some of his writing, though he has a strong personality and has made a number of very successful experiments. These experiments make, in fact, his strongest claim to notice, and although he has written a number of works in more or less classical form and of considerable beauty, his chief works are out of the ordinary in form, in the instruments employed and in psychological expression. He started in this direction with what he called three 'Pathematologies', or studies in psychology, this piece 'Hallucinatie' being the first of the three. Ruyneman's piano writing here is deft enough to be able to balance all those open octaves, often a bad sign in piano music but well-handled in this piece.
