Workshop 86 asked:
What is the current music trying to become?
Harmonic rhythm gives you a powerful answer:
You can make it become the next section by:
- accelerating
- slowing
- prolonging
- anticipating
- delaying
- freezing
before the section boundary even arrives.
That is formal continuity through time.
