The piece begins with a minimal arrangement of instruments, slowly increasing both in speed and volume while incorporating additional instruments. Nevertheless, a consistent melody is continually reiterated. This singular theme fosters a sense of cohesion. The variations in tempo and dynamics (loudness and speed) provide the distinctiveness.

A linocut is categorized as a relief print. In relief printing, ink from the top surface of the plate is used to stamp paper.
Woodcuts and engravings are also forms of relief prints. Essentially, the process of making a linocut parallels that of woodcut, but it uses linoleum instead of wood; this softer material allows for easier carving.
While carving into linoleum, the parts that will remain white are cut away, leaving behind the sections that will print black (or in color if applicable). Picasso popularized linocuts, but historically they were mainly seen as a student's practice technique for woodcuts.
