[2.14] Eighth Block (Example II.11) [click here

This passage presents four measures of a sustained D2 enclosed in register by alternating clusters. This design recalls mm. 20-21 (the first two measures of Example II.1) in its cadential effect. This similarity of formal function is reinforced by the fact that the material that follows in both cases (mm. 22-25 and mm. 68-71) can be heard as metrically consonant and consistent with the notated meter. Considering these parallelisms it is puzzling that mm. 64-67 do not exhibit the metrical regularity of mm. 20-21.
