Mussorgsky's Pictures broke new frontiers through its use of ringing bell-like sonorities, dramatic juxtaposition of registers and dynamics. Ravel's 'Mirrors' suggest more Symbolist associations in that the individual pieces explore ambiguities between supposed reality and 'reflected' simulation. Unusually for Messiaen, Cantéyodjayâ is about musical process and is constructed as a mosaic-like collage in which a jaunty rhythmic refrain is contrasted with a multiplicity of contrasting ideas.
