Anadyome is a Greek word meaning “rising up from the waters.” Small rhythmic and pitch motives rise up from the lower notes of the piano and move through the instruments up to the range of the violin. As they pile up, combine, and are subtracted from each other, the piece rises or falls in tension. After a middle section with a highly contrasting character, the first part comes back in a condensed form, and finally just evaporates as the motives escape even the violin.

“All I say is that non-experts often know more than experts and should therefore be consulted and that prophets of truth (including those who use arguments) more often than not are carried along by a visions that clashes with the very events that vision is supposed to be exploring.
