thinking about pierre and natasha. how music in great comet as a whole represents …fakeness, polish, protection from the real. the more music, the faker. (ie anatoles songs being loud and lushly orchestrated with lots of synth while natashas or sonyas tend to be softer and simpler) and then you get to pierre and natasha and that piano right. but then the music stops!!!!!!! because for the first time he’s feeling something real and immediate , and he can’t dress it up with music anymore since the whole moment is new. music represents the “sleep until you fall in love” and pierre only speaks because he has finally woken up
