The piano part has liquid quality above which the flute gestures and sings. One might think of summer rain falling on a beautiful stream or river. Alternatively you may wish to experience it entirely as a personal response to the music directly. The music is the most articulate description of itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe title White Staircase gives some hint of the feelings and thoughts one might experience through the piece. There is a clear sense of cyclic ascension in the ascending 5's in the piano hence 'staircase'. The flautist in particular is encouraged to explore a variety of colour and texture; white light comprises all the colours of the spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eContents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft Rain \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite Staircase \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IC Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49299020120358,"sku":"9790708077206","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/3559\/5814\/files\/9790708077206_005f75ea-cd29-4360-8ab8-6cf3533e7cfd.jpg?v=1733939511","url":"https:\/\/www.flute4u.com\/products\/clarke-i-soft-rain-white-staircase","provider":"Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
