The title of Dissolve refers both to the literal definition of the term, a separation of an entity into its constituent parts, and to a cinemagraphic technique in which one image is gradually transformed into another. Resonant sounds dissolve according to their natural acoustical decay. Sustained sounds dissolve into percussive passages and definitely pitched sonorities dissolve into the sounds of indefinitely pitched instruments. Homophonic and polyphonic textures dissolve into one another. Dissolve is composed in a three section form that resembles ternary or rounded binary but is neither, as the three sections are distinguished mostly by timbre, texture, and the relationship between definite and indefinite pitch.<ref>http://www.c-alanpublications.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=CAPC&Product_Code=05920</ref>

Program Notes

The title of Dissolve refers both to the literal definition of the term, a separation of an entity into its constituent parts, and to a cinemagraphic technique in which one image is gradually transformed into another. Resonant sounds dissolve according to their natural acoustical decay. Sustained sounds dissolve into percussive passages and definitely pitched sonorities dissolve into the sounds of indefinitely pitched instruments. Homophonic and polyphonic textures dissolve into one another. Dissolve is composed in a three section form that resembles ternary or rounded binary but is neither, as the three sections are distinguished mostly by timbre, texture, and the relationship between definite and indefinite pitch.[1]
