it is in fact an application of the talea method to the melodic series - a species of color, a technique originating from
isorhythmic motets in the ars nova period).
Rather, it is about examining how various rhythms relate to one another (in, say, polyrhythmic,
isorhythmic, eurhythmic, or arrhythmic forms).
(8) Another phenomenon is
isorhythmic AV dissociation, in which the atrial rate is equal or nearly equal to the ventricular rate.
Smend amassed files of numerical data, counting notes, measures, and paragrams, with the intent of proving that Bach regularly laced his compositions with occult meanings based upon number, much in the way Dufay had done in his
isorhythmic motet, Nuper rosarumflores, written for the dedication of the cathedral of Sta.

It is a testimony to the dearth of research and publication about such an important and talented composer that the majority of the interesting papers in this volume have been written by scholars specializing in Panufnik's contemporaries: Witold Lutoslawski (Charles Bodman Rae's "The Role of the Major-Minor Chord in Panufnik's Compositional Technique," and Zbigniew Skowron's "Andrzej Panufnik's Artistic Attitude and His Aesthetics"); Krzysztof Penderecki (Ray Robinson's detailed history of Panufnik's reception in the United States); and Igor Stravinsky (Alicja Jarzebska's analysis of rhythmic patterns in "Panufnik's Musica Mensuralis: The Problem of
Isorhythmic and Metrical Organization of Musical Time").
