Improving the practice and performance of contemporary music
Loop C - regressive period 1
Although there are some minor examples of note-addition, the main tendency in this period is toward note-diminution building down from motif 1. The rhythm is augmented from the 32nds and the 32nd quintuplets in measure 145 to the 16ths and 16th triplets in measure 150. Dynamics move down from forte in measure 145 to piano in measure 149. No accents are added and the phrasing is not altered throughout the period. The melodic curve evolves from the superposition of two fluent lines in measure 145 to the quite fluent residue in measure 150.
