Analysis
Sequenza VI exploits the harmonic possibilities of a fundamentally melodic instrument. It does this in two ways:
rst, by implying harmonies with melodic lines circling
continuously through a small number of xed pitches and,
second, by presenting long series of three- and four-part
chords in which the pitches are kept sounding by means
of across-the-stings tremolo (Smalley 1971).
