@watchpocket Well done. Entirely well-researched and well-written.

@spamless Thank you! You've already made it to the end? (If so congrats - some will surely fall asleep before then).

@watchpocket I read it at a fast clip, but I paid attention to great swaths of it. I know nothing about that music history, unfortunately.

@watchpocket Your excellent writing and editing skills are part of what kept me going. I tire quickly at weak writing and weak grammar.

@spamless you may recall me asking you about the term "punktmusik" - it was for this piece.

@watchpocket I vaguely recalled a conversation about it, yes. I have a niggling thought that it might be conceptually related to pointillism in graphic art.
