musical work merely gives us the functional realization."45 Stravinsky's interest in and
the importance he places on musical time are evident in his writings and his statement
"Music establishes an order between man and time."46 Ernest Ansermet states in
connection to Stravinsky's music that "in music Stravinsky sees the self-concretion of
time."47 Stravinsky observes:
Everyone knows that time passes at a rate which varies according to the
inner disposition of the subject and to the events that come to affect his
consciousness. Expectation, boredom, anguish, pleasure and pain,
contemplation - all of these thus come to appear as different categories in
the midst of which our life unfolds, and each of these determines a special
psychological process, a particular tempo. These variations in
psychological time are perceptible only as they are related to the primary
sensation - whether conscious or unconscious - of real time, ontological
time... What gives the concept of musical time its special stamp is that
this concept is born and develops as well outside of the categories of
psychological time as it does simultaneously with them.48
