The Valedictory Finale
View through CrossRef
Abstract
It would not be wrong to regard the valedictory finale as a, deviant, variant of the summative finale. Like the latter, it resolves unfinished business rather than initiating new business-and in this important respect it differs from the relaxant finale, which insists (albeit without precluding thematic connections with other movements) on its autonomous status. In an aesthetic sense, however, it could not differ more sharply from both other types. It is slow rather than fast, calm rather than agitated, introverted rather than extroverted, soft rather than loud. It favors regression as against cumulating, simplicity as against artifice.
