CRESCENDO IN BLUE
DIMINUENDO IN BLUE
First of a series of new selections by Elling-
ton.
"Diminuendo" begins fortissimo .with in-
tricate contrapuntal rhythms played against a
Dixieland Instrumentation . The orchestral tone
recedes to the end which is taken as a piano
solo by Ellington.. On "Crescendo" the theme
is varied further by employing clarinets in low
register, elevating the pitch of the reeds and
uncovering th e muted brass for a finale which
is a robust rhythmic concoction played double
(
fortissimo. Iriteresting.
