i agree in the oddness of saying the schoenberg
composition has less structure. it seems almost
contradictory considering the earlier statements that 
"All of the pieces showed a text-like distribution,
especially for the higher-ranking notes. But the
strength of the relationship varied,"

and in relation to the schoenberg piece and atonal
music "This means that the piece does not have a set
vocabulary of commonly used words that keep appearing.
Instead, the size of the vocabulary increases at about
the same rate as the length of the piece; new "words"
are constantly introduced, while earlier ones are
seldom repeated."

the author seems to overgeneralize or contradict both
his and zanette's statements with that sentence.
first, saying that the structures vary, and then
briefly saying that there is less structure. 

weird.
