Love the sweeping strings here. Good stuff!

High on the Moon

This ballade opens with an expansive theme to introduce the harmonic landscape of the piece. As the music continues to develop, a mysterious, contrasting theme is introduced. The opening theme is re-introduced in a climactic reiteration at the end of the first section. This leads into a serene and romantic third theme, which gradually winds down and returns to a darker atmosphere. However, instead of ending the peace, as might be expected from the repeated low D, the music turns into a percussive rhythm, gradually building to the coda, bringing back the opening theme in a dramatic display of virtuosity. The music continues to build in intensity, expressing itself through contrapuntal polyrhythms, eventually crashing down to a devastating and visceral final iteration of the thematic material. While deeply personal in nature, and influenced by numerous life experiences, I take the approach of Rachmaninoff, namely, that the listener should form their own interpretation of the music, and not be told by the composer as to what the music represents.
