Treatment+of+elements

Dynamics - A wide range used from ppp b 56 to fff b15. - extensive use of crecendos diminuendo's and sudden dynamic changes to creat drama and tension.

Texture - Is an important element in this movement. Used to reinforce the landscape in the film; sparse landscape is refelceted by sparse texture (eg opening guitar solo accompanied by string chords). Huge mountains of ice are portrayed by huge tutti 'block chords'. - Texture is varied; sometimes monophonic (eg guitar cadenza), sometimes polyphonic (eg b.24), sometimes homophonic (eg b15). Also thinner and thicker textures are used. Most of the time the texture is homophonic.
