Describing Music

After a performance, someone came up to the pianist and asked what he meant by his interpretation of that Beethoven sonata.  The pianist went back to the piano and played the sonata again.

An interesting aside - what elevates this picture to a near-great image?   The theme of black and keys echoed on the boy's shirt.  If you choose a frame of a color that is in a small part of the picture, that same color will pop in the picture.  Here the amplification resonance is within the picture.
