The passionate ardor of pianist “inspires” the instrument, the folds
of curtain, and figures of spectators, creating a sensation of
imminent takeoff. The music reaches its peak emphasized by the solemn
red coloring of the painting. Its streams soar to the concave mirror
of the moon, and, focused by it, return to the scene. The reflected
flow carries the magical energy of the moon, causing mysterious
transformations all around. We see as the spectators are shrouding
themselves in spectral cocoons, or acquiring something like butterfly
wings. The play of light patches on the piano and glimmering
reflections on the curtain create a unique sensation of a butterfly
fluttering its wings. |
