tHe piano theme...

a pLain start on piano, another one in a typically 'Rahmani' manner; and begins the small piece called Piano Theme (1947 The Earth).

tHe music has, to many, not a lot to say; but to the remaining lot, it speaks a hell lot more than a heavy bunch of instruments played. It merely consists of a flute and a piano; and both are exceptionally well 'used'. I, seriously, don't have words to describe the feeling you develop (mentally) while you are listening to it at 1:30 in the night; when you realize that the crickets are singing on the harmonic scale of the 'spotlight'ed song.
tHe piece has three things adding to its elegance-
 
1) As I mentioned in the very begining, a cold take-off with some notes played. Although the same piece is played for the rest of the instrumental, it does not bore the listener to any extent, courtesy the variations the song has.

2) The song comes to a halt (a really small one; 2 seconds, i guess), and enters the handsome instrument of flute. The flute, technically speaking, has added nothing on the musical notes' part; but it adds, to your heart, the intensive feeling that a change is required badly (though it might not be :P).

3) It ends with a set of notes that gives you a feel that the stuff is left incomplete, which actually is not the matter. It was created that way. It was, as I presume, ''built'' to ''musicify'' the emptiness of the atmosphere. It sort of started with the continuity (the three dots, you see) and ended with the same continuity.

sO, the Piano Theme is a link between the two consecutive times, when you are not blank. In case you have never gone through it, do listen to this Rahman workpiece. It might depress your depressing feelings when required...

tHe power of music, you see..
hAve nice days :)
