SHADOW SHOT
http://heyharriet.blogspot.com/2010/01/shadow-shot-sunday-88.html
SILENT SYMPHONY
A book, a stand, a clarinet,
But no-one's there to use them yet.
Left to itself an instrument
Is quite inert, with no intent.
The book is paper, nothing more
Although it may contain a score.
Awareness of music is not in these;
Their purpose isn't symphonies.
Clarinet, book and stand all wait
To meet the player that seals their fate.

See tomorrow's blog for a rather cynical view of joy.
And who will be the player, I wonder. One of my favourite instruments besides the piano. I looks very inviting - and the shadows set it off nicely.

As usual, your words made me smile!
ReplyDeleteThe artist has practiced so much, he/she knows their part cold. Yet the anticipation could consume them if not.So the musician has to play the part, and is ready - we hope the audience is as ready...
ReplyDeleteHappy SSS to you and the mysterious clarinet player.
