He starts his answer with a radical look at our concept of what 'music' is, arguing that the extent to which apparently basic categories
From this it ebbs away on a sustained A (oboes and clarinets recalling the opening motif) to form an anxious, fluttering tritone with E flat, the mediaeval ‘diabolus in musica’.
