"a muse of epic poetry, a certain weight to this poetry" "changes how we perceive time and time signature. Uncertainty and a bit tragic" "signifies some sort of restarting point, some consciousness of something" "The alto of a viola has a lot of depth but also a certain otherworldlines" "any particular place it wants to go (especially harmonically it has no real endpoint) other than forward, carries us through time" -RM
