The inspiration for the "Seven Obsessions" comes from reading Edgar Allan Poe's novel "The Tell-Tale Heart." In that book, the
protagonist goes mad and harms an old man due to the peculiar eyes.
The seven sections of this piece each portray an obsession with different elements. For instance, "Ad libitum" can be seen as the increasing madness inside
the protagonist, while "Nostalgia" expresses a fixation on memories
of the past (in the early movements). Ultimately, the obsession reaches its peak in the final movement, primarily manifested as an intense, trembling desire, just like in the novel, the protagonist killed the old man.
