Description
A witty, compelling piece, “The Law of Loving Others” sets to music a passage from Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina. The character Levin reflects on what he has always known, that he “must love his neighbor and not throttle him,” but grapples with the idea that reason has caused men to throttle others to satisfy their desires. How do you explain love using reason? Full of rich and textured harmonic colors, this piece depicts one man’s psychological journey toward recognition of the unreasonable aspects of love.
