Work introduction
The title means “With the Temple of the Sky”, and its inspiration is connected to that of Lightscape. A skyward gaze is a symbol of the capability to look far off, to think of the future beyond the immediacy of the present. This attitude is represented in two ways: by the piano, whose unceasingly repeated notes mark the time without measuring it, making it constantly uniform and thus paradoxically stopping it in a single unchangeable instant, and by the violin, which, with its singing, places itself above the motionless time and may reach the future in an instant.
