Shulamit Ran, Soliloquy for violin, cello, and piano (1997)

This passage, a brief prelude to a substantial one-movement piece, can be thought of as an elaboration of the A major triad with which it begins and ends.

Over the course of the passage, notes are added one at a time until the aggregate of all twelve notes is complete.

Each stage of the accretion of notes around the central A major triad provides a different and evolving context for that central harmony.

Treating the series of new notes as a basic structure for the passage, we can see the extent to which the piece is conceived as a succession of major, minor, and augmented triads.
