“Beauty is Elementary”





extremely                                          extremely

        soft                                                  loud

    slow                                                       fast

    smooth                                                       accented

          sustained                                                       moving

       conjunct                                                    leaping

        resonant                                                 harsh

    harmonious                                                       dissonant

 pure                                                                      noisy

      peaceful                                                          tense

    simple                                                       complicated

       contemplative                                                       virtuosic

Sections of time alternate taking characteristics from each of the columns.             In order not to privilege either of these poles the time-frame will change by 3-measure units.           The next group of three will have a different duration.                  The actual material sounding in these measures will be unlimitedly free within the understanding and acceptance of the parameters imposed.      Ph.     for many or few
