Here
(above) Morty gave me the basic idea of the subdivision of a sound.
I saw how each sound and the placement in the line gave each pitch
a distinctive subdivision. A subdivision of --3-- was more relaxed
than one of --5--. The excerpt below from my "Solo"
for flute shows how articulation, breathing and intensity are
all shaped by the subdivisions and this shaping aids the inner
expression of the melody.
