Whether that may be the kind of music it is, or whether it is a sad or happy piece of music, it is all linked together somehow in a song. He claims "if the overall form of a piece of music feels obvious and predictable, then the possibility of musical form has been underestimated (208)". By this, he means that although a song may be linked together, it's not always predictable. I agree with him on this statement, because some songs may be about sadness, and start off slow and quiet and then gradually become the opposite of that. A good example of linking in the book is that of Gabriel Faure. His Piano Quintet no.2 reaches three different melodic motifs. In the version by Quatuor Ysaye, the middle part reaches almost a climax in the piece, and just a few minutes later, finally finds a resolution. It is a piece filled with complex chain-linking and melodic strains of emotions. "Animated by all that possibility to develop, the piece becomes a kind of living organism (210)". A piece that I believe also relates to this linking concept is "Human" by Christina Perri. The song starts off as a slow ballad, and gradually becomes more intense and faster paced before eventually quieting back down. It is filled with all kinds of emotions and is very much driven by complexity.  ]]> 2017-11-27 05:35:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ebaker31/xbvf0488wou7/wish/210260988 ebaker31 https://padlet.com/ebaker31/xbvf0488wou7/wish/210262811 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3DDu6Dngks]]> 2017-11-27 05:49:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ebaker31/xbvf0488wou7/wish/210262811 ebaker31 https://padlet.com/ebaker31/xbvf0488wou7/wish/210263087 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5yaoMjaAmE]]> 2017-11-27 05:52:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ebaker31/xbvf0488wou7/wish/210263087
