This makes the intro of the piece very tense…

Various prominent cells of the motive are articulated, particularly the interval of the major 3rd, which is passed around in various registers. At 2:19 a cell of the motive is used as an accompaniment figure in the L.H. At 3:35 the fuller melody returns in several tessituras. At 3:56 a small apotheosis of the theme occurs.

The piece opened with lots of energy. The rhythm at measure 10 was very together, and the dynamics from measure 6 to 10 created a cool build. The transition to measure 27 was smooth and efficient.

conjure particular ideas of plot and character into audiences’ minds. For instance, a jazzy bassline, saxophone, and relaxed piano combined in the right manner evoke the image of film noir and detectives, while the combination of a cajón, steel drums, and an ukulele sounds distinctly beachy.
