The West Australian - 'Euler's Music' Review | Author: Neville Cohn
"Michael Grebla’s Euler’s Music is another unusual offering. You don’t have to know anything about Euler’s Disk to derive pleasure from this imaginatively constructed little work. Here, pizzicato strings, high-pitched trumpet notes and discreet cymbal taps combine to gently lulling effect. I’d like to listen to this piece again. I hope it gets taken up by other musicians. It certainly deserves to be."
