Spiegel im Spiegel
0:00-0:34 Bell and first line
- Piano places the repeating bell tone before the violin enters.
- The structure starts as a rule, not a theme: still point, step, return.
0:34-2:18 Mirrored ascent
- Violin rises by patient degrees while the piano keeps the reflective grid.
- Each phrase feels new only because the same shape has moved slightly higher.
2:18-5:08 Expansion without release
- The piece widens by extension rather than contrast.
- No new section breaks the spell; duration itself becomes the development.
5:08-6:35 Suspended close
- The final passes narrow the distance between motion and stillness.
- The ending does not resolve the mirror. It stops while the rule is still audible.
