I had something similar happen with a Dalza piece recently. I'd always known where it went into two or three, but I suddenly got an insight that the twos were always in groups of threes, sometimes two groups of threes. It is like stepping up a level and seeing the big picture. And I felt exactly the same way, a bit embarrassed that I hadn't noticed such an 'obvious' organizational parameter earlier. cheers, PS. Your playing always sounds great to me, and the Guardame was no exception.
