"Perfect Sense" is a contemporary classical composition by German-born British composer Max Richter. The piece was composed in 2011 and premiered on the same year at the Edinburgh International Festival. The composition is divided into four movements, each representing a different sense. The first movement, "I- Sight," is characterized by a slow and melancholic melody played by the strings. The second movement, "II- Smell," features a more experimental sound, with the use of electronic sounds and percussion. The third movement, "III- Taste," is a more upbeat and lively section, with a prominent use of the piano. The final movement, "IV- Touch," is a slow and contemplative section, with a focus on the strings and a gradual build-up of tension. The overall characteristics of "Perfect Sense" are a blend of classical and electronic music, with a focus on creating a cinematic and emotional atmosphere. The use of different instruments and sounds in each movement creates a sense of progression and development throughout the piece. The composition also features a recurring theme, which ties the different movements together and adds to the overall coherence of the piece. "Perfect Sense" is a testament to Richter's ability to create music that is both accessible and complex, with a focus on creating an emotional connection with the listener. The piece has been widely praised for its beauty and originality, and has cemented Richter's reputation as one of the most innovative composers of his generation.
