[instrumental]

(I) Prelude

"Shadows of shadows passing. It is now 1831, and
as always I am
absorbed with a delicate thought. It is how
poetry has indefinite
sensations, to which end music is inessential.
Since the comprehension
of sweet sound is our most indefinite conception,
music, when combined
with a pleasurable idea, is poetry. Music
without the idea is simply music.
Without music or an intriguing idea, colour
becomes pallor, man becomes
carcase, home becomes catacomb, and the dead are
but for a moment
motionless."
