It explores the problems of large-scale musical structure by employing symmetrical, yet radically contrasting sections held together by a framework of liberally interpreted classical forms (rondo and sonata in particular). Problems of orchestration have been resolved through consultation with experts, coursework and individual study, and the emulation of pre-existing masterworks.en-USThesis
