Menuet

Let’s me and you dance

Like night and day

Back and forth

As you shine

Much like the sun

And I

Like the face of the moon

Reflect back what I see

Let us both

Remind the world

There is light

And it exists right here

Between us

As we dance

Back and forth

Almost circadian

In rhythm

Push and pull

In constant harmony

Yin and Yang

Different, yet the same

And as I learn

To move with you

I notice pleasure

After the pain

1, 2, 3

And then we start again

Let us dance

Like the sun and moon

Hand in hand

Eye to eye

And let the world

Look upon us

With amorous wonder

And I like the moon

Gather warmth from your shine

Let me be the rock

To your world

And let’s show them

Why we align

Without me

There’s no tide

Without you

There’s no time

Like the present

Let us dance

Right here

In this eternal moment

Tchaikovsky - Orchestral Suite no. 4, “Mozartiana” (1887)

Tchaikovsky adored Mozart, and this love can be seen in his own music with its long and catchy melodies as well as colorful orchestration, and operatic drama. The soprano Pauline Viardot-Garcia had a copy of the manuscript for Don Giovanni which she displayed in a shrine in her home to show off to visitors. Tchaikovsky visited her once and revered the score as if he were on a pilgrimage, saying that looking at the score he was “in the presence of divinity”. But not everyone in the 19th century appreciated Mozart so much, especially if they wanted to compare him to the more extroverted “Romantic” of the classical composers: Ludwig van. So it seems that Tchaikovsky was inspired to re-frame Mozart for the ‘modern ear’. Unlike Stravinsky, who did similar experiments in order to chop up older composers music into something cubist and new, Tchaikovsky’s suite was a faithful orchestration of four lesser known/appreciated Mozart pieces. The first movement is the “Little Gigue” for piano K.547, and is a reminder that Mozart was a more complicated composer than the lighthearted popular melodies would make you think, and despite how short the piece is it includes some dense counterpoint but with the forward moving ‘dance’ nature of the style. With Tchaikovsky’s orchestra it feels like a long lost scherzo for a Beethoven symphony, but less repetitive. Next is the Minuet for piano K.533, which is a softer and more simple dance, but includes a lot of chromaticism and inner part writing and with the romantic orchestra feels like it could be a segment of a Tchaikovsky piece. Next is based not an original piano work, but on Liszt’s transcription of the Ave Verum Corpus which appears in a piece “À la Chapelle Sixtine” (where Mozart’s motet is paired with Allegri’s Miserere). In the new context, it feels more like a romantic opera love aria, complete with glittering harp and a passionate climax fading away on glassy strings. The finale is the longest movement, and is based on a set of Variations on a theme by Gluck, K. 455. Here, Mozart’s imaginative musical mind (and definitely wanting to please the crowd) is accentuated by Tchaikovsky’s wind writing and concertante passages with solo violin. One master’s tribute to another, even though they were of different countries, times, and aesthetics. Tchaikovsky doesn’t overshadow, rather he compliments Mozart and does as promised; uses the 19th century orchestra to show Mozart’s genius that was influential to the time even when taken for granted.

Movements:

1. Gigue

2. Menuet

3. Preghiera

4. Thème et variations

“My object then," replied Darcy, "was to show you, by every civility in my power, that I was not so mean as to resent the past; and I hoped to obtain your forgiveness, to lessen your ill opinion, by letting you see that your reproofs had been attended to. How soon any other wishes introduced themselves I can hardly tell, but I believe in about half an hour after I had seen you.”

Here is my first try on the next ship - Reylo.

Before "Good Omens" took over my world, this cute couple was my strong obsession. I know, I know, It's been over a year since Ben died and our ship was made canon, but after rewatching Pride and Prejudice (I'm also a Jane Austen fan) this idea raised in my mind. I see so many parallels! Well, of course, Mr Darcy didn't kill his father, he he.

The Throne Room scene from TLJ is just like " You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you" moment.

And then Kylo tries to get Rey on his own conditions, he wants to rule with her(he can't imagine doing it without her)he struggles not seeing why is she so reluctant when she should have this desires in her blood. But it was him, who was blind. He finally comes to understand, that IT ALL DOESN'T MATTER. The Universe, the blood, the family name don't matter, Ruling the Galaxy doesn't matter, the power doesn't matter, if he wouldn't have her. Suddenly from RULING with her it's just HER. Her safety, her life, and he sees that it was about it all along, he just couldn't admit it to himself. Why would he be running after her throughout the whole movie, right?

Of course this is not so close to P&P but i can see an alternative TROS ending, when Ben lives, he helps restore balance and republic, he sacrifices everything to say "“You must know, surely you must know, it was all for you."

This one here is just a little game with contexts. Hope you like it.

Sorry for any mistakes, I'm not a native speaker and while writting this I'm fighting with an enormous headache, but I truly wanted to share something today.
