Amor, ch'a nullo amato amar perdona,
mi prese del costui piacer s? forte,
che, come vedi, ancor non m'abbandona.

Love, which absolves no beloved one from loving, seized me so strongly with his charm that, as thou seest, it does not leave me yet.

Amor, ch'al cor gentil ratto s'apprende,
prese costui de la bella persona
che mi fu tolta; e 'l modo ancor m'offende.

 
Dante Alighieri
 

Forse, se tu gustassi anco una volta
La millesima parte de la gioie
Che gusta un cor amato riamando,
Diresti, ripentita, sospirando:
Perduto ? tutto il tempo
Che in amar non si spende.

 
Torquato Tasso
 

Do we really have to look these chords up in Forte's catalog in order to find a name for them? Another theorist [Christopher Hasty] assures us that, 'Allen Forte's perceptive interpretation...accounts for an essential quality of this mysteriously pulsating music. The eigth-note chords of the flute and clarinets form alternately, with the sustaining oboes and horns, the six-tone sonorities labeled A and B. The sonorities A and B are both representatives of the same set class (6-Z19) and are thus made up of precisely the same intervals. As Forte points out, "There is a flucuation of pitch-class content while interval content remains constant."' 'A flucuation of pitch-class content while interval content remains constant' is what the rest of us have always known as 'a transposition.'

Un litigante ? di vincer si ingordo,
Che non d? a se, o altrui pace o riposo,
Ma ad ogni altro piacer ? cieco e sordo.
