01 / The first 30 seconds

30-second entrance

Do not wait only for the four notes. Hear how the orchestra turns a tiny motive into a machine that moves forward.

Mood / situation

Alertness, conflict, hearing energy become organized

Minute to hear first

00:00–01:00: after the four notes, keep following the strings’ push.

02 / LISTEN FOR

Three things to wait for

  1. A small motive compressing itself
  2. Strings locking like gears
  3. The room hardening when brass enters

Version / performer information

Versions differ in speed and weight: some box, some build. Ask whether it pushes you forward or presses down on you.
