i have to admit that
musically, i find this piece much more
interesting than the thread-starting piece
It's far more a constructed piece, so its dramatic intention and
internal logic is considerably deeper. The thread-starter is more
process than piece.
(which in itself is totally
agreeable in the same way that a factual statement about the blueness
of the sky today would be).
In my least generous moments I think of it in the same sense as
Stravinsky's remarks about Boulez's Pli Selon Pli: "Pretty monotonous
and monotonously pretty".
Thanks for lending your ears and commentary, Tim. Always appreciated. :)
Best regards,
