Soft, shadowed tones hover in the upper register while the LH moves cautiously below as if tracing careful footsteps through the dark. Each phrase lingers, listening, waiting - so play slowly to make the music sound like it's standing still. A secret is about to unfold and only the most attentive detective will hear it coming. What is the darkness hiding?
