Introduction

What can be the way to find musical order without statistical or hierarchical regularity and musical non-order without disorder, and to put both into one? How must detail relate to form, how content to structure? The title: a word by → Paul Celan.
Can metaphor as a linguistic method be inherent in musical “language“? The composition follows a strict path, which is both definite and uncertain, precise, even mathematical accuracy and freedom, musical substance community and tonal sensuality combined.
