It is not so much a composition as simply a list.                           - Tom Johnson     Within Fourths/Within Fifths is dedicated to Tom Johnson, composer of many beautiful chord enumeration pieces to which my piece is very much indebted, in gratitude for his inspiring and fun musical explorations.                           - Samuel Vriezen
