"On the opposite end of the spectrum is Elliott Carter. He intentionally tried to avoid repetition in his works."

Yes, exactly ! That is why Elliott`s work sound like instruments talking to one another, like 4 instruments talking to each other with emotions & expressions each instrument having a specific character.

On the other hand generally we perceive some degree to repeatability as music.
