I return to the theme of dark and light from the first set, now allowing the listener to focus on how 'dark' and 'light' might manifest in tonality. Here, the listener is invited to look back to music that was recorded 10 or more years ago, in 20." Mehldau explains that his approach to the sequence of the fourth set "is to focus on the rub between the keys of E minor and E major. Brahms's Intermezzo movement was a look back at what had taken place in his Sonata before moving to the final movement. Rückblick means a look backward, perhaps a reappraisal. I'm thinking of the penultimate movement of Brahms's Third Piano Sonata with that title. "The third set could be thought of as Intermezzo and Rückblick-like in character. Sides 1-4 focus on this dichotomy in pairs, beginning with the dark energy of Jeff Buckley's 'Dream Brother,' which is followed by the grace of Lennon/McCartney's 'Blackbird.'" He further says, "Although the songs on Sides 5-8 (The Concert) come from different concerts, on this set, I arranged them in a sequence similar to that I would perform in a single concert in 2010-11," he continues. Of the Dark/Light theme, he says, "In concerts, I find that I contrast dark and light emotional energies and highlight the way they depend on each other.
