“A strictly counterpointing exercise for piano, voice, and dance.
The continuous movement of a fuga from J.S. Bach's ‘Das Wohltemperierte Klavier’, serves as an orientation in time, for elements that match in their structure, but are clearly distinctive at the same time. Their organizational accents are regrouped in each repetition of the music.”
– William Forsythe
