  • The story begins [with] the clarinet player.

  • I love the part in the beginning. It starts like dusk in the morning in New York, and

  • the whole thing starts. The second part starts with even more intensity.

  • Listen to that. This is unbelievable. And then the orchestra comes in.

  • But I almost don't want the orchestra to come in for a long time,

  • because that sound that you just heard,

  • the ring is so huge, and it sounds kind of suspicious, but it's just so warm, the

  • way the harmony he created is so warm. And then there's a lot of story and it goes

  • into '"The Masque," the jazz part. Then toward the end it goes back

  • to the piano solo, which is the theme.

  • Only, at the end you play an octave higher, which sounds like this.

  • To me it sounds like a reminiscing about something.

  • And the orchestra comes in. This is the part I love.

  • Isn't that gorgeous? Now you get to hear the rest in the concert!

  • I mean, if you like the sound of this,

  • this is only one piano.

  • Imagine this with a full orchestra, with the New York Philharmonic.

  • I can't wait!

The story begins [with] the clarinet player.
