Discordant or cordant or what have you. I'll take it if it sounds good, or at least sounds right. I try not to think in terms of single ingredients. I try to think in terms of balance. And when I think of the word "balance", I am once again reminded of the very old music of Gesualdo.A little discordancy forces sweetness. It makes things sweeter in a painful sort of way. It was like Tabasco on Gesualdo's morning eggs.
