- instrument-shapes-improvisation
- Assertion
- In bluegrass fiddle tunes, each repetition is usually played by a different instrument; Newton argues the instrument itself shapes improvised material, even the pitch collections used, beyond mere idiomatic fit, and that the contrast between instrument-shaped passages can mark formal structure and act as a genre marker.
