Aside from deliberately trying to make things difficult for note entry and
sight-reading, why would anyone notate the following passage this way:

(The whole piece is only three pages and stays in the same harmonic

You've got me. I would put the whole thing in Db, in fact, assuming there is no compelling reason to keep it in C# (like keeping the modulation sequence understandable if there are frequent modulations.) This is the kind of thing I always have problems understanding, and I'm considered a little way-out at times in my circles (in terms of rarely-seen notation and effects.)


Anyone else care to clue us in? I don't get it.
