In 1979,
Martin produced a set of
three quintets, in
consideration of Gorky's
piece Nighttime Enigma
Nostalgia. Each is scored
for flute, clarinet,
violin, cello, and piano.
There are passages in
Nostalgia that build
using two layers, a
louder foreground and a
quieter background. Both
of these layers are
independent of specific
instruments, in other
words, the various
instruments jump in to
play a role in either
layer, then jump to the
other layer. It is as if
the ensemble has doubled.
The technical musical
term for multiple
instruments interweaving
to produce a single
thread or idea is called
Klangfarbenmelodie
(tone-color-melody).
Because there are two
layers (louder and
softer), both using this
technique, Nostalgia is a
unique example of 'double
Klangfarbenmelodie.' The
piece ends with a series
of intense rhythmic
pulsations and several
apocalyptic fanfares.

notes.).
