Sound and Structure

Rating: 4.1


"Sound leads to structure." Schönberg.

On this dry prepared path walk heavy feet.
This is not "dinner music." This is a power structure.
heavy as eyelids.
Beams are laid. The master cuts music for the future.

Sound lays the structure. Sound leaks into the future.

An astonishing score, music and literature intertwined in a full, light way, in a poem of fine treatment.
