Description
This music is melodically and harmonically based entirely on equal octave divisions: the tritone, the augmented chord, the diminished 7th, the whole-tone scale, and the 12 semitones.
Scales and chords are made by paralleling these divisions, for example, with the diminished 7th division, the octatonic scale (either step/half-step, or half-step/step; or, with the augmented chord division, with say, C C-sharp E F G-sharp A C', or with the whole-tone scale, or with C D-sharp E G G-sharp B C'.
As for the 12 semitone division, I leave myself free to use conventional diatonic melody (but with parallelism for chord changes), or I'll use parallel fourths and fifths. With the tritone division, I tend to do such things as, say, B C C-sharp F F-sharp G; apart from that, I'd just get the diminished 7th and whole-tone scale divisions.
These are the movements: i)Largo lugubro; ii)Fugue; iii)Allegro con moto; and iv)Presto veemente
