Harmony

Brahms
Symphony #3 in F Major
Opus 90

The orchestra operates as an organism
Robust, full of life,
Existing as one consciousness,
One awareness.

The individuality is present,
But does not compete with itself.
They achieve both a fullness and a precision,
A breathtaking combination.

Their music brings to mind a rose in full bloom,
In all of its vital glory and lusty color,
With a single droplet of water on one of its petals,
Focusing that fullness and beauty into
One
Incredibly precise
Detail.
