wow.This will grow on me. That e flat major chord is shocking .And the gesture keeps coming back never as clear or as tonal.The beginning highs are special.This might repay listening but it seems no repetition and Schoenbergian harmony isnt about humanist values .but is sound event that cannot be remembered or be relevant. Ultimately if it doesnt stay with u what valueere.REading Levitan and finished bio on Boulez and Ive's memos.I need to go back to school desperately.I used this quartet .

2/4 then 3/4 then 2/4 then 3/4. I was thinking "why didn't he just make it 5/4 and be done with it? Then I got to the 3/4+1/16 . . .7/16 . . .3/8 then every time signature in the book and many that aren't. I hereby dub this piece "L'impossibilité." Thanks for the post.

@MrBeethovenfan try out his piano music-it's more approachable.

@MrBeethovenfan

Just listen to it, yo. If you're compelled to read it, then pay attention to the phrasing, generally the indicator of why it's scored the way it is. (I can't even read, and I know this much.)

Babbitt was an amazing thinker and composer. He leaves us with outstanding works such as this! Thanks for sharing...
