Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden shift into a driving, percussive string ostinato in Dance II that feels like a physical engine starting.
The way Dance IX synthesizes the previous themes into a massive, swirling wall of sound that feels both exhausting and transcendent.
The brief, haunting moments of relative stillness in Dance III where the repetition becomes almost hypnotic before the tempo ramps back up.
