The third and most famous movement of Suite bergamasque is Clair de lune.
The title of the third movement of Suite bergamasque is taken from Verlaine's poem "Clair de lune":
Your soul is a chosen landscape
Where charming masquerades and dancers are promenading,
Playing the lute and dancing, and almost
Sad beneath their fantastic disguises.
While singing in a minor key
Of victorious love, and the pleasant life
They seem not to believe in their own happiness
And their song blends with the moonlight,
With the sad and beautiful moonlight,
Which sets the birds in the trees dreaming,
And makes the fountains sob with ecstasy,
The slender water streams among the marble statues.
I like to imagine it played on a grand piano in a big french mansion while outside is raining and i can see the garden through my window. A bit of "Wuthering Heights" sceneries.
