"Full Moon" is a contemporary classical piece composed by Ludovico Einaudi as part of his album "Seven Days Walking, Day 3". The album was released on March 15, 2019, and "Full Moon" is the third track of the album. The piece is divided into three movements, each with its own distinct characteristics. The first movement begins with a simple, repetitive piano melody that gradually builds in intensity as additional instruments are added. The second movement features a more complex and intricate piano melody, with the addition of strings and percussion creating a sense of urgency and tension. The final movement returns to the simplicity of the first, with the piano melody returning and gradually fading away. The overall character of "Full Moon" is one of contemplation and introspection. The repetitive nature of the piano melody creates a sense of meditation, while the addition of other instruments adds depth and complexity to the piece. The use of strings and percussion in the second movement creates a sense of urgency and tension, reflecting the emotional journey of the piece. "Full Moon" premiered as part of Einaudi's "Seven Days Walking" project, which was inspired by his walks in the Italian Alps. The project consists of seven albums, each representing a different day of his walks, and "Full Moon" is part of the third album. The project as a whole explores themes of nature, time, and memory, and "Full Moon" is a beautiful representation of these themes.
