       a = first chord in cycle (never transposed)
       b = second chord in cycle (never transposed)
       c = third chord in cycle (never transposed)
       d = fourth chord in cycle (used frequently in different transpositions)
       e = seventh chord in cycle (never transposed)
       f = eleventh chord in cycle (never transposed)
       g = replacement for second chord in the 4th cycle only
       H = replacement for fifth chord in the 4th and 5th cycles only (not transposed)


       Some interesting points:
       - built on a sequence of 12 chords, the top notes of which are a 12 tone row
       - repeating rhythmic structure which is only 11 note values long - out of phase with the harmony
       - the chords do suggest certain scales, but the sonorities of each individual voicing seem more important
       than any harmony they might imply, even in the short improvising section that follows
