As such, they should be appreciated in their own terms. Yet there IS sometimes a tendency to look beyond the work under discussion, to subsequent, more “mature" works: and to describe the earlier Invariance and Analogy in Stravinsky-s -Musick to heare- work in terms of how it allegedly prefigured those that followed.* 1 Setting Darwin aside, some writers seem to evoke the evolutionary views of Jean-Invariance and Analogy in Stravinsky-s -Musick to heare-

Although Haimo's understanding and distillation of a large and complicated corpus of music is laudable, some reviewers have criticized his particular approach: "to trace the precedents for each [serial] technique and show how a 'mature style' defined by these techniques comes gradually Invariance and Analogy in Stravinsky-s -Musick to heare- into being ” That is. "the compositional goal is defined before hand so that we can proceed to trace out the trajectory toward that goal" (Michael ChInvariance and Analogy in Stravinsky-s -Musick to heare-
