Reviews

The one where the form justified itself

Rated 10.0 / 10

Eighteen minutes with four genuine movements and not one of them padding! The case against the side-long suite is that it is length in search of an idea, and this is the record that answers it: every return is earned, every transition does structural work, and the ending recovers material from the opening without simply repeating it. If you dislike prog you will dislike this. You will not be able to call it lazy.
