Cortège

題 "Cortege "並不意味著葬禮進行曲，而是一種有節制的遊行，其中的色彩以陰沉為主，氣氛陰暗，往往氣勢洶洶。作品中最重要的元素之一是開頭的一連串小三和弦，它們在作品的後半部分佔據了主導地位：這些小三和弦並不具有傳統的和聲功能，而是一個背景，在突然變得鮮明後成為前景

原文簡介:
The title Cortege does not imply a funeral march, but rather a measured processional in which the colours are predominantly sombre and the mood dark and often menacing. One of the most important elements of the work is the sequence of minor triads heard at the outset and dominating the latter part of the work: these do not have a conventional harmonic function, but are a background which is suddenly thrown into stark relief to become the foreground.
