For a friend, I need to find (in the next two hours) two pieces of
music, one that could be characterised as being "open", the other one as
being "closed". Genre doesn't matter. Can anyone help me and her?
What do you mean by "open" and "closed"? The harmony's voicing? The
consort's instrumentation? The level of improvisation? The number of
performance options?
They're used in these ways and probably more. Which is intended?
O, Dennis, I know. This is a very simple school project, the "openness"
and "closedness" (if one can say so) should be very obvious and not at
all musicological!
I myself was thinking of Haydn's Abschied symphony for the "closed", but
I couldn't think of an "open" counterpart.
Fading out versus a final chord is an example of open and closed indeed.
