Formal Decision

I have decided to drop the third section of Time in Memoriam.  The decision to change to a binary form was made because I wanted to give the fast (B) section time to develop.  While I could have stuck with my original formal design I think that doing so would have either made the piece too long with the development of the B section or the B section would have seemed rushed.

Ending fast is something that I have not done too often.  Many time in large pieces such as this I usually compose a recapitulation.  I think that ending at a faster tempo would give me the opportunity to have fun with the ending.

I think this is a good decision that will make the piece stronger.
