I.
The faithless are on occasion more zealot in their faithlessness than believers are in their faith (from the book of personal observations).
2nd movement:
You will notice that what we are aiming at when we fall in love is a very strange paradox. The paradox consists of the fact that when we fall in love we are seeking to re-find all or some of the people to whom we were attached as children. On the other hand we ask of our beloved to correct all of the wrongs that these early parents or siblings inflicted on us. So that love contains in it contradiction, the attempt to return to the past and the attempt
to undo the past. [Crimes and Misdemeanors(1989)]
and the scherzo (ultimate absurdity):
"much of our life is built on the hope for tomorrow yet tomorrow brings us closer to death and is the ultimate enemy; people live as if they didn't know about the certainty of death; once stripped of its common romanticisms, the world is a foreign, strange and inhuman place; true knowledge is impossible and rationality and science cannot explain the world: their stories ultimately end in meaningless abstractions, in metaphors. "From the moment absurdity is recognized, it becomes a passion, the most harrowing of all." (The Myth of Sisyphus)
The composer is facing difficulties with the muse of grand finale!
An allegro needed!
