Yes, you are right albyth. Romantic really isn't a good term for what I'm talking about.
It isn't even particularly romantic.
It is that very early-Stravinsky harmony and melodic stuff.
Just gorgeous.
I think it is the way the melody interacts with the lush minor-harmony chords.
It seems to modulate every two bars nearly in the section I'm thinking of.
I just had a look at the chord progression:
For first 3 bars of the melody:
Gdim alternating in quavers with a Gminor (6/3) chord.
One bar of Bbm7
One bar of Dbdim7/E (natural) or something like that - alternating in quavers with Cminor
one bar Ebm7 alternating with Gminor
one bar Ab7 alt with Fminor
Abm7 alt with Cmin
etc.
Not a major chord in sight (excluding the Ab7 base triad)
Does the above mean anything to any of you?
lol
