That motive is presented in the brass section against a contrasting motive in the woodwinds, but very soon the woodwinds motive is abandoned, and will only be returned to towards the end, in rhythmic durations eight times as slow as it was presented at first. The cluster motive is kept in its original form throughout most of the piece, varied primarily by dynamics, duration, and a changing of background. The pitch level of the cluster remains static for the bulk of the piece.37 ppengCopyright is held by the author, unless otherwise indicated.
