nothing much to say so shall be short so the next post can be posted.

i think that when a composer restricts a particular work, in the sense of form, or instrumentation... it becomes amazingly and perhaps surprisingly (unsurprisingly) great. ok it's hard to express. but when, for example, a piece restricts itself to using only the timbres of a string orchestra... the end result is very often amazing.

been listening to britten's simple symphony.
