It begins with a solemn but beautifully rich chorale of arpeggiated chords, like the waves of yearning for that person. The cello enters with heartfelt longings through the rich colourful held notes. The quaver melody is introduced, rushing repeatedly as the heart beats faster at the thought of the one they love. It's treated sequentially so these flutterings of the heart sound like echoes, reverberating throughout your whole body. The music builds, the fluttering quavers rise ceaselessly until suddenly the true note resounds. The piece ends with aching colourful held notes, slowly diminuing until it stops - but the note still hangs in the air and does not fade.
If someone can make me feel the way music does, I know I will have found true love.
