“No Comment was written as a Ringtone for Orchestra on the occasion of the 2008 Dutch Classical Music Week (Week van de Klassieke Muziek). The piece is exceptionally short, even for a ringtone: between 16 and 20 seconds.

Within this time frame, three different musical elements are performed simultaneously: one in the high woodwinds (flute, oboe, clarinet), one in the brass and one in the strings. The three come together just before the end. It is possible to play the piece with so-called natural trumpets and natural horns, which are trumpets and horns without valves that can only play the natural tones.”
