WoW! I like the surprising changes. I wish I could play so fast. Have not heard it before. Thanks for sharing

This Book is similar to Paul Hindemith's Ludus Tonalis in its concept. There is tonality in spite of the fact that there are a lot of dissonances. You can think of it as a completely free C major that doesn't need to resolve the dissonanses at all and does't have to explain every note in the piece. I recommend to watch the sheet if you really like this piece https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtTUGzco2Nc
On the 00:20 in my Vid there is a culmination that is expressed with polytonality, the left hand plays a sequence in D flat Major while the right hand tries to interrupt the left hand playing in C major
