"Its purpose..."
Nikolas,
I'm curious if the crescendo to nothing which ends the piece can be interpreted in light of the title of the work. "Five hundred seconds of music and ["then," perhaps?] its purpose." Am I perhaps right in thinking, therefore, that part of the piece's intent is to build anticipation and then rob the listener at the end, implying "there IS NO purpose?"
I'm not endeavoring to imply that there'd be anything right or wrong with such a goal; just wondering if my (admittedly surface, for I only listened to parts, as you suggested) evaluation might be somewhat correct.
