Repetition. Repetition. Repetition. Repetition.

"Music takes place in time, but repetition beguilingly makes it knowable in the way of something outside of time. It enables us to “look” at a passage as a whole, even while it’s progressing moment by moment. But this changed perspective brought by repetition doesn’t feel like holding a score and looking at a passage’s notation as it progresses. Rather, it feels like a different way of inhabiting a passage — a different kind of orientation." - Elizabeth Hellmuth Margulis, director of the Music Cognition Lab at the University of Arkansas
