"Coda" [2008]

Song: Knyazev (text), Gorsheniov (music, lead vocal)

The Foggy Albion is immersed in darkness. Lifeless tranquility. The moon is over the river. But at midnight, again, the sonata of sorrow starts suddenly to sound, so flawlessly, and when the village is asleep, the violin sounds from the cemetery...

A stone crypt is open… The watchman is old, deaf and blind, but everyone thinks that he is so much carried away by his violin that, until the dawn comes, the old man comforts himself.

The violinist will finish his play only by the morning, but when the night will come, he will start again. The wind will blow, and that melody will rush over the sinful land.

A stone crypt is open… The watchman is old, deaf and blind, but everyone thinks that he is so much carried away by his violin that, until the dawn comes, the old man comforts himself. But even the watchman himself did not really know whom his neighbor was!

Once upon a time, there lived a musician. He played violin. He had a rare talent that fascinated people. And on the stage he always dreamed to die, but when he saw his death, he had not played his coda to the end. Someone carved this coda in his gravestone, and the maestro kept on playing those melodies year to year.
