It was humiliating - the piece was technically difficult, so they slowed the tempo down by almost 50% and played it more like a slow minimalist piece, completely destroying the hectic, whirlwind nature of the piece. Not even consulting me about it felt condescending, and not taking the time to do it at the right tempo felt disrespectful. I walked out - for me it was particularly painful because at the time I was really positioning myself AGAINST Philip Glass aesthetic and they turned my piece INTO a Philip Glass piece. It seems clear from your description that the people who put this on didn't respect the will of the submitters, they just dd their own thing with it, which to me screams EGO TRIP.

I think you could probably turn it into a nice one-act if you wanted to.
