selected reflection

Meso-structure: Considering the select snippet from outside, as it were — as a general appraisal of any music —  I am glad that the selected snippet brought some variety (not contrast) to the texture, as well as some space, allowing for thiner textures and soloistic behavior. In regard to our original concept of devations/morphing, however, I fear we are getting each time more distant. The treatment of the material  in this last segment is basically motivic — which could itself be considered a form of divergence and morphing, but then we are only playing with words. I feel we need more gradual, long processes. Perhaps a way forward would be to treat the “thinning” to one line as a morphological aspect. We could now progress to a gradual administration of density of voices — work with two lines, then three, back to two, then suddenly make a metamorphosis back into tutti. All of this without any new material. The next score should somehow look like the ones we have already seen. Only then, I feel, would we be ready for some new contrast, which could very well be the “hardcore repetitive structures emerging out of nowhere”.
