Introduction Bars 1 -10

Begins with whole-tone pitch collection C, D, E, F#, G#, A#. Bass on C. The process of guitar dialogue/interlocking continues here.

 

Bars 11 - 15

Interlocking augmented collections (augmented collections are derived from the whole-tone), and bass shifts to dissonant G natural, C, G# and eventually to E natural, before the music reaches E major with an added 6th (pentatonic) and augmented triad on G.

 

Bar 16

Tension at this point.
