Karlheinz Essl teaches computer music at the Bruckner
Conservatory in Linz, Austria.  His piece, "Lexikon-Sonate"
is a composition for MIDI-controlled piano which composes
itself in realtime using the Max program.  It requires
MaxPlay or Max to run.  This will not be necessary after
Max 3.0 is released.

It is stored as a self-uncompacting archive and then was
binhexed, giving it the .Hqx extension to the filename.
More information on the piece is located on the www at:

A 5-minute excerpt of the recording of "Lexikon-Sonate"
can be found on his CD "Rudiments" which is being distributed
