Music as Art

February 7, 2010 03:31

Last night's dream cannot be explained, but I must attempt, lest I forget. I played a piano/cello trio by Brahms--one of his yet unheard compositions, of course--and was pleasantly surprised to find that the melody had taken the form of a serpent, which wove in and out of the tapestry; each of us took turns carrying it along as it reappeared. The result was a work of art that lingered in visual form even though I cannot recall the sound of its sweetness.

And just like that, my muse returned.

I play through Brahms at night, and the plot line sends me into bouts of chills and sweats, like a fever.
