0:00
Starting with a piano and drums combinational dribble while we rapidly ascend into—

0:02
A slightly stripped-down quadruple symphony of equal power. The main actors: piano, drums, bass, and—

0:21
Welcome, wind instrument. Our previous three-body fellowship continues as if nothing has happened and the whole quartet gives off a feeling of stableness.

0:40
Slight sorrow, in four identical stages, gets the upper hand.

1:01
Explosion preparation and…

1:07
What a blast. The windy protagonist explodes full of bliss and energy. Everything spins around supporting the brass majesty whilst the piano is stealing the performance only by a small bit—an omen of things to come.

Returning into stableness. Heed for the bass's contribution.

With the familiar four-part descent into sadness.

Explosion preparation, but this time—

2:11
Anticlimactic. Lack of tension release.

2:18
A wobble; latent climax incoming.

2:21
Coolness. As if everything is where it’s supposed to be. Universal balance while the keybordial protagonist realises a creative race with no competition.

Shout on the clock.

Final shout just before—

Explosion. Proper this time, as the pianistic transcendentality continues uninterrupted. Pure, infectious celebration.

3:17
Back to stableness, this time the final one…

3:22
Fading out fast…

3:30
…and death!
