The lied, this small-scale musical genre, is a highly concentrated musical expression of the poetic text. The music of a lied is closely related to poetry, the musical genre being a whole in which each of the two coordinates has the same importance. Music - poetry relationships are intertwined, influencing each other. In the Evening of Brass lied by Daniela Cojocaru the close relationship between text and music is obvious, and this relationship has influenced a number of new ways of artistic expression.

Thus, in order to make operations through set theory, musical scales represent modes and modal structures are materialized through melodic and harmonic discourse itself.
