Short and sweet composerly evening.  Looked at secondary tetrachords – 4-note sets that are embedded in a series of common hexachords within the octad that I am working with.  Why?  Well, it can add as secondary harmony and contrast to what I have in the main tetrachord I am working with for this movement.  A few melodic surprises.  Nothing big.  Have all this stuff written down someplace or other.  actually, its endless – the permutation.  So, this session is all play – twiddling permutations and finding contours that project the same general sound.  Pick a few.  Improvising in a jazzy way at the piano.  All this to be used in a loose middle section that is more melodic and lyrical than the first and last section of this movement.

Thinking arch ABCBA.  Thinking trisectionally – ABCABC.  Unsure which.  Varied repetition  but with real variants.  Shortened recurring materials maybe?

I’m pretty sure I are close to the end of this play period.  Thinking and writing here is much just for my own therapy and history.    Gets boring, I know.  But encouragining.
