In the dark, a pianist begins to play. (S)he continues, as though nothing is out of the ordinary, until unexpectedly a small table lamp lights up and (s)he stops, apparently under its spell. The light goes off, and (s)he starts to play again. This dialogue – music/dark; silence/light – continues with increasing agitation until finally the pianist takes control of the music and switches the lamp off for good.
