Description

This piece is divided into two parts, and in part they have the same structure: a succession of varying tones, divided into three "instruments," that accelerates until the listener hears each instrument as separate from the others. These two parts, however, start with different pitch values, and the values of each instrument (for loudness, pitch register, channel, and timbre) vary according to the instrument and the the part (first or second) being played.
