This is a criticism that goes back at least to Schoenberg's accentuation of
"passing notes" at the beginnings of the pre-WWI gravitation toward
chromaticism, and probably back to the tenor's loss of the _cantus firmus_
about 500 years ago. Traditional harmonic hearing can gloss over these
dissonances up to a point since they are usually momentary, but when they
are accentuated they provide new combinatory chordal possibilities. What
composers have done throughout history: introduce harmonic tension in the
form of tonal (or conceptual) dissonances that are eventually integrated
back into the 'system' (i.e. key). Uwe's disregard for key and melodic
resolution is simply an exercise in Ehrensweig's fourth stage of harmonic
articulation which signifies the demise of the classic harmonic approach and
dissonances are favored over consonances for their 'bite.'
Go Uwe!
