 The music proceeds with considerable violence, with relentlessly clashing dissonances in the woodwind and a plethora of racing string semiquavers.After a storm has been built up, a ritardando leads into the final, crushing dissonance of the work, where all three notes (C, C# and D) are dominant.The dissonance is cut off to reveal the note C#, which from then on to the end is sustained at a moderate dynamic, never moving.
