Leonard B Meyer:"In 'pure' instrumental music, the strategies
chosen by composers to create unity were responsive to the
tenets of Romanticism...Even in the absence of an explicit
program, motivic continuity created a kind of narrative

the main motive--its development, variation, and encounters
with other 'protagonists'--served as a source of constancy
throughout the unfolding of the musical process."
