Doppler 1 exists, however it has no score. It was sequenced directly into my Ensoniq EPS. It's score would be impossible. Check it out on my YouTube channel.

I wrote the original version of Doppler 2 with 8 voices, each playing a note of a Bb Major scale. But, it never really had a point of logical ending. So, I rewrote it with 5 voices, playing the lower 5 notes of a Bb Major scale. Each voice repeats its note with its same duration. The lowest voice notes on Bb last 8 32nd notes. The next one up, on C, last 9 32nd notes, and so on up the scale. They repeat their notes until the end of the piece, sometimes filling in the rests with repeated notes, sometimes playing mordents, inverted mordents, trills, or turns. The tempo increases then decreases. There are dynamic changes, staccatos, and accents. But overall, it is a study in repeated durations gradually creating patterns. Eventually the notes spell out a downward-moving scale, which naturally speeds up until all 5 notes play together in a cluster, then widen again. I took some liberties at the end by removing some of the repeats so that the upward-moving scales would be more obvious. Then there is a surprise ending with glissandos.

I'm sure I got inspired by the awesome work of Conlon Nancarrow. In no way can I compete with that great genius composer.
