8th listening: same instruction herm

The deep tone, ”the father”, is not sighing, but more insisting

9th 10th 11th 12th listening: Instruction: divide into sections foc

1st and 2nd phrase are similar.

3rd section: The big crescendo leads to a strong exclamation by a lady who has plenty of grit

4th phrase: short, similar to 1st and 2nd phrase.

LCB’s timing of sections coincides with EC’s 8th listening, see above:

S1: 0’00-0’07 gentle phrase

S2: 0’08-0’12 gentle phrase

S3: 0’13-0’23 intense activity

S4: 0’23-0’30 gentle phrase

13th listening: Open listening open

EC: Now I recognize the shout of the strong lady: one particular full-bodied tone

near the end of S3

14th listening: Question: What can you hear as voices, what do you hear

as something else? herm

LCB : All the sounds can be heard as voices

EC: What about the tic-toc?

LCB: Can be tsk, tsk

15th listening: Listen for emotional expression herm

S1: LCB: All the voices are kind, they do not state anything particular. The voice of an insipid,

flimsy waiter

EC: A feminine, caressing voice

LCB: The first deep tone: Not insisting, but supporting: ”I hear what you are saying”

S2: The flimsy person and the deep remark again

S3: Everybody disagree, rising their voices wildly, high up and deep down

S4: A polite phrase and a dry remark: ”well...”
