Sonic Asymmetry

Sergei Rachmaninoff – “Prelude in C Sharp Minor (Op. 3 No. 2)”

セルゲイ・ラフマニノフ- 「Cシャープ・マイナー（Op.3 No.2）の前奏曲」

TIME COMMITMENT: 4 minutes

Detached, but destabilizing in its post-traumatic fragility, this prelude combines a soaring melody with welcome spells of snuggling intimacy.  Etched by a furiously erudite composer, the concise piece evades facile, arpeggiated temptations and instead exposes the author’s tender, ruminating side.

A REFLECTION

A stone thrown into a silent lake

is—the sound of your name.

The light click of hooves at night

—your name.

Your name at my temple

—sharp click of a cocked gun.
