Closeness, as explored in this chapter, is described as elements in music working together in coordination rather than contrast. I agree with what Ratliff has to say on what closeness is and how artists use it to create a more intimate relationship between them and their listeners. It is not about two elements contradicting each other but rather working together in harmony.]]> 2017-11-13 05:34:34 UTC https://padlet.com/isabellevigil/kvwtb9nijah0/wish/206098965 media 2 isabellevigil https://padlet.com/isabellevigil/kvwtb9nijah0/wish/206100822 "two or more musicians, or musical elements, acting in the purest coordination"]]> 2017-11-13 05:53:19 UTC https://padlet.com/isabellevigil/kvwtb9nijah0/wish/206100822
