For solo piano, not too difficult - lyrical, poetic and tonal. Duration, 12 minutes
Program note:
These short scenes consist of (but not in order): a sickness, a family fight, a car accident, a discovery, a sudden loss, a letter, a quiet midnight, and: an unexpected memory.
"Fate was not kind, life was capricious and terrible, and there was no good or reason in nature. But there is good and reason in us, in human beings, with whom fortune plays, and we can be stronger than nature and fate, if only for a few hours. And we can draw close to one another in times of need, understand and love one another, and live to comfort each other. And sometimes, when the black depths are silent, we can do even more. We can then be gods for moments, stretch out a commanding hand and create things which were not there before and which, when they are created, continue to live without us. Out of sounds, words, and other frail and worthless things, we can construct playthings — songs and poems full of meaning, consolation and goodness, more beautiful and enduring than the grim sport of fortune and destiny."
Hermann Hesse, Gertrude |
