Capriccio Brillante Poem by Ahmad Shiddiqi
Capriccio Brillante
(dedicated to Ms. Maria João Pires, a great pianist)
threatening octave
aggressive
daunting
runs low
quick treble figures
transform themselves
having reached presto
mysterious yet fully unified
geyser cones
lavender fields
so loved by anglers
thousands of birds nest
immense heritage
immortal evergreens
winderoded diamonds
fossilised lava columns
memorable outings on cloudy days
innumerable sights in villages
ornate wrought iron gates
wind-torn basalt rocks
(inspired by Constança Araújo's works)
Breathtaking imagery Ahmad - you take the reader into both music and word simaultaneously, with inspired lines....... thank you .....Fay.
Stunning instrumental lexicon, resplendent imagework, and the employment of crisp, short cropt stanzaec structure affords this piece mellifluous movement as well as a pleasing read.....Solid Penning. F j R 2009
