Starts interior of nerve.
The idea here is to build up lines in a hocket that constitute chords.
Another idea, not realized (for now) is to radically depart into a 12/8
texture reminiscent of a Beethoven scherzo (i.e. Symphony 3, 3rd mvt) and have
some sort of back-and-forth between the 12/8 of the Scherzo and the 12/8
(or 4/4 swing) of the Dixieland.  This is a more radical choice, but it
is difficult for me how to make it not "obvious" in its radical nature.
That is, once peope hear that we've gone there and back, the piece becomes
a prisoner of the idea.  Or, in other words, it is "clever", which is the
worst thing anyone can say about anything.
While staying in Dixieland the whole time is less daring initially, I think
the virtuosity of the middle section (if done right) can eat away at the
12/8 codes and make us feel different pulling currents on the inside of it,
not unlike African drumming but in a completely different texture/world.
