Music: Dylan Alexander Serrato/Leonard Bernstein
[Spoken]
And that's another important
Feature of good melody
Its shape, the curve it makes
As it rises with tension
And then sinks down in relaxation
But in the course of the movement
As a theme is being developed
You'll find all kinds of places
That might be called unmelodic
Or at least less melodic
But you're ready now to understand
That even those places are melodic
As much as the opening theme is
If you just listen to them correctly
