“ “That we may simultaneously identify both linearity (evoking motion) and cyclic procedure (evoking stasis) suggests that, within the complex of a musical texture, some constituent elements may evoke one type of musical time, while different constituents evoke another. The understanding, therefore, of Musical Aesthetic Time, is not singular or exclusive. On the contrary, it is multiple and we must contemplate the combined nature of the various Musical Aesthetic Times evoked in all their complexity and paradoxical beauty.”
