What exactly is the question
Ponce's concerto
for guitar and orchestra
is the answer to?
I couldn't say for sure
although I have
an inkling and I'm certain
it's a different question than the one
for which the chaconne
from Bach's d-minor violin partita
offers the deepest
most thoughtful response
of course it may be different
for each listener
but I think likely not so different
all I know is music answers questions
that we were unaware of asking
questions that come straight from the soul
and for which there are
no other answers
