Story behind the song
No. 5 from Six Malevolent Dances, Op. 20. V. ARABESQUE DEI CORPI CELESTI. Perhaps the most poetic of the entire set, the Arabesque is a vivid narrative of a strange dream. The music evokes the style of Debussy with a modern touch. The first section introduces the peculiar dream. It opens with a brief introduction that sings out a peculiar melody that uses many of the recurring motifs. The protagonist is alone in a strange land with abstract rock formations, jutting cliffs and endless canyons. The triplet motifs that often juxtapose a two-note rhythm illustrate the protagonist's timidity and sense of exploration. The earth is red like clay. Near the horizon, the sky appears to be yellow and then gradually becomes red and then dark blue as one looks upward. Far in the distance, constellations float across the sky in a serene manner. The brilliant chords that start off the middle section illustrate the magnificent landscape that begins to crystallize. The protagonist keeps on wandering in the scherzando section. He slowly feels more and more uneasy and realizes he is truly lost. He wanders back to his starting point. The music ends with slow fading away, as the protagonist is forever lost in this strange world. *** The other pieces in the set are: (i) Mazurka, (ii) Waltz con il Diavolo, (iii) Tarantella, (iv) Scherzo, and (vi) Spanish Polonaise.
