Hi. @4:19 the _limit up until which_ was reached. That ww/brass line came out of nowhere, then the upright bass lines. The statement sat there a minute; I was tempted to "get serious" & develop it, but the line did not facilitate imitative counterpoint well, while freely improvising *was* happening. But after the 4th iteration it was time to exit.
@@Civilizashum It's as if you've first set a scene, and then something takes place there. The end came off to me both like jazz from a dystopian future AND, oddly, something of a relaxation of all the tension prior. A spark happens with the future brass, and then it settles into that jazzy thang. Ends perfectly!
I love the contrast between beginning and end.

@@edwardgivenscomposer thank you. The final section kind of obliquely calls to "The Unanswered Question" idea.
also, being a passacaglia it's like an ancient future courtly dance
@@Civilizashum I could cut a few capers...
