A “serene order presides over the Earth around you,” and the “heavens above revolve in magnificent harmony.” Everything you can see, hear, and know is a particular aspect of the ultimate truth: the simplicity of a geometric theorem, the predictability of the movements of heavenly bodies, the harmonious beauty of a “well-proportioned fugue”- all are reflections of the essential perfection of the universe. These are, in…

Bar 47 reintroduces the rhythmic cell in the right, while a figure derived from it is played in the left hand.
