The use of Polyrhythms

To end I will just discuss polyrhythm’s to emphasize the complexity differences in the rhythms of the two pieces. Whereas Watts has little to no polyrhythms because that would contrast with the reasons why he wrote the piece, Tchaikovsky scatters them throughout his score. Tchaikovsky begins with more consonant rhythm’s but by the 21st measure he begins to use more polyrhythm’s and then reverts back to using none by the 37th measure until the end.
