Extra Information | This is a 12-tone piece. There are 5 prominent features: counterpoint, the interval of a 6th, the contrast between tonal and atonal structures, the contrast between order and chaos, and the use of the B-a-c-h motive. The motive is the notes of J. S. Bach's name, spelled in German music notation (B flat, a natural, c natural, b natural). It was actually used by Bach himself in the unfinished fugue from "Art of the Fugue". |
