RE: Rhapsodist Writing Contest #4 – Bibblings and Scribblings (Not for Contest Consideration)

I'm not sure I understand. I'm asking you whether you intended to write 'final high pitched crescendo' but wrote just 'final pitched crescendo' due to a mistake.

Wow! That is certainly a very interesting piece of info! I'll check it out :) I am something between an agnostic and an atheist and even a theist! I just can't place myself somewhere 😅

Sort:  

Ah, I just realized it was the phrase from the first sentence, third paragraph. The answer to that is yes, it was intentional. In my mind, the phrase high pitched crescendo is redundant, because the phrase pitched crescendo already paints the picture of high-frenzied (pitched = sloped and crescendo = peak).

After reading a biography on Michael Angelo, I took a different perspective on writing. I purposely edit my finished work to communicate my thoughts in as few words as possible. Its something to do with stripping the finished piece down to its essence. Perhaps I'm just a bit too esoteric but I think there is an elegance in simplicity and wordplay.

I'm certain at least some people, if not many, feel that you are esoteric. You made me look up 'esoteric' . :P You are very good with your words my friend! Wish you good luck and good health! 🙂
