Fidelio - Act One Quartet
Mir ist so wunderbar (I feel wonderful)
Four people - same situation - Four different realities.
Extraordinary, and all from such a simple tune.
Then again, isn’t one aspect of genius its elegant simplicity combined with awesome power?
Take the four and a half minutes to listen to the Act I Quartet from Fidelio, and let this sublime music and its meaning wash over you.
Yes, it is about the power of love.
