Can you provide some examples of music with a free form structure?

Below are images of the respective passages of which I speak.

“The Lark Ascending”: (the indication “Sur la touche” advises the Violinist to play on the finger board of the instrument).

Likewise, Russian composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's composition “Sheherezade” contains a sequence of musical passages with skeletal framework provided, allowing free-form to both soloist and strings in pizzacato. Rimsky-Korsakov's notation is most fascinating to see..and hear. The passages of which I write take place in Mvt. 2 of this astonishing work.

How do Greeks identify themselves in terms of civilization? Do they feel more connected to Western or Middle Eastern civilization and why?

Typically, within a symphonic score, free-form structure is instructed via a Composer's indication of “Cadenza”. In musical terms, a cadenza is an improvised, ornamental passage performed in a “free” rythmic style, typically by a solo performer. To some extent, the musical indication of “a piacere”, (at your pleasure), also allows a performer to abide by the tempo, rhythm and dynamic level of their decision.

Ralph Vaughn-Williams’ timeless, ethereal “The Lark Ascending” begins with a cadenza for solo Violin with quite the duration of free-form allowed by the Composer. Vaughn-Williams' notation is quite interesting to view. Violinist Hilary Hahn best infuses this cadenza with the most favorable tone and technique.

“Sheherezade”:

If the Red Pill is supposed to be so bad, why are so many young men buying into it? What about Red Pill makes it appealing to them?
