I rather like the idea behind that method. In a composition
like particles, you literally spend half the peal chasing
mega-tittums. This method gets you there and back within a
lead, and without completely losing the coursing music
around the row. I'd be interested to see a method like that
in a slightly more conventional cyclic composition.
