It is intrinsic to music in which little happens that the perception of
the listener is focussed on perception itself. This is its theme, and
thus it transcends itself following the romantic tradition. In a similar sense,
in his composition "ABC" for piano, bariton saxophon, and percussion,
composer XYZ has taken more sound out of the world than he has put
into it.
What matters here is the difference between sounds which arises when
you scratch on a large metal sheet with the top of a soap box versus
with a metal bolt. For XYZ the point is the variation of parameters,
which at first listening seem incongruent, the gradual elongation of
time units by auditivly assembled beat measures, the dissolution of the
ensemble-time.
