Translation of графическое письмо

[barbarisotschka.livejournal.com]

Dear all,

again I am here for your help. Does anybody know what graficheskoe pis'mo means in the context of music?
For exampe (about a piece of music for piano):
Тему проводит левая рука,в нижнем регистре(главная партия), а правая очень"примитивно" аккомпанирует,то есть используются простые,арпеджионные фигурации с альбертиевыми басами.Вроде мысль понятная,средства минимальные,гомофонная фактура,графическое письмо.
I understand everything but the last two words. Graphic text? The musical score? I'm lost...

Big thanks in advance! :-)

You might get results by asking on Russian forum of musicians. I'd be curious to know the answer, too ^)

framing, laconic manner, music pattern or palette looks like a graphic drawing vs. painting (=polyphony).

+1 from a music magazine editor.
BTW I would not rely on a forumklassika's user posts as an example of genuine Russian musicology - Bargo lives in Germany for something like 20 years, and his Russian music theory vocabulary is somehow limited and/or obsolete. In this case, for example, I would use графичный rather than графический. He means simple, linear, single-line logic of musical text (=score) as opposed by живописный (i.e. multicolored, multilayered, and yes, polyphonic.)

I was hoping that you'd answer, Wolk! :-) Yes, a forum post probably isn't that trustable. But "my" text is actually from a doctor iskusstvovedenia. I found a slighty changed version online, so I think it's ok to quote the troubling sentence:
Остро ритмизированное графическое письмо вторгается в пианистические стили романтической традиции - облик позднего композиторского и исполнительского творчества Рахманинова может служить здесь примером.

So you think that I'd say something like "ein stark rhythmisierter und klarer Stil"? (Strange, though, to associate this with Rachmaninov...)

Very interesting, thank you! This indeed sounds very much like graficheskoe pismo, but my text is about Rachmaninov (which, of course, you couldn't know) and therefore I don't think that it actually fits. :-)
