| Verschränkung bridge Explanation: I'm almost certain this is right. The term Verschränkung is borrowed from music. See the Duden: (Musik) das Ineinandergreifen zweier musikalischer Phrasen (3) wobei der Schluss der ersten zugleich der Anfang einer neuen Phrase (3) ist. Then take a look at page 29 of this essay on music: Specific transitional techniques: A transition can be thought of as a bridge: it is attached at one end to the old idea, and at the other to the new idea. The bridge leads clearly and gradually from one idea to another. It is possible to "measure" the difference between any two musical ideas by comparing their constituent characteristics: line, texture, harmony, register, timbre, rhythm, etc. The more elements differ, the more contrasting the ideas, and the more stages will be required for a gradual transition. Since it is fairly easy to surprise the listener (the beginner's most common fault!) we will concentrate here on how to construct more gradual transitions. And it goes on if you click on the link. Hope that helped! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2006-02-21 11:56:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- This Duden definition of "bridge" is also available in the Merriam Webster Dictionary.
