Why this music
The music stays spare and warm, like a single lamp in a vast darkness — delicate piano and gentle strings that hold wonder and sadness in the same breath. It breathes with the book's rhythm: open and curious when the prince travels, and achingly still when he stands before his rose. Nothing fills the silence entirely, because the silence is part of what the book is saying.
