Silent Symphony



SHADOW SHOT

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!

The 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...

Happy SSS to you and the mysterious clarinet player.
Great post!

This was a very good shadow shot. And the poetry --- so clever!

so true, music is not music until its performed...

Very cool shot! Aptly titled and a nice poem to go with it. Perfectly creative in every way.
