Yes, I like it very much too, but I wanted to point out that it does not follow the rules of classical harmony that "forbid" the use of concords that are deemed unpleasant to the ear (the tritone, for instance), or demand that the closing note is the tonal one to "appease" the ear (just think about Tristan, that's a huge relief to hear AT LAST the conclusion! do you know the old joke about Tristan that says, had Wagner made him die in the first act, we'd have gone dining three hours earlier!) -- remplacez "lesptt" par "laposte" pour me joindre substitute "laposte" for "lesptt" to reach me |
