POLYMER MUSIC: SUITE FOR TWO PIANOS IN SIX (SHORT) MOVEMENTS, BY RONALD KONINGSVELD.
a musical performance with visual annotations

This work was written by a well-known polymer chemist and dedicated to another well-known polymer chemist, Walter Stockmayer. A recording of these two polymer chemists/friends/musicians at the pianos will be played as brief interludes between the other scheduled talks of the symposium. The piece is subdivided into sections that offer musical interpretations of various aspects of polymer chemistry: 1) Random Coils and Crosslinks, 2) Polypentenamer and Phantom Networks, 3) Holes in Polymer Liquids and Theories, 4) Fluctuations, 5) Folding Chains, and 6) Helical Duet.
