Donna, donna, dark,
Stooping in indigo gown
And cloudy constellations,
Conceal yourself or disclose
Fewest things to the lover —
A hand that bears a thick-leaved fruit,
A pungent bloom against your shade.

 

Wallace Stevens

 

Io iudico bene questo, che sia meglio essere impetuoso che respettivo; perché la fortuna ? donna, et ? necessario, volendola tenere sotto, batterla et urtarla. E si vede che la si lascia pi? vincere da questi, che da quelli che freddamente procedano. E per? sempre, come donna, ? amica de' giovani, perché sono meno respettivi, pi? feroci e con pi? audacia la comandano.

 

Niccolo Machiavelli

 

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.'
