Another of my barbarisms - a beautiful melody that goes nowhere, and a complete beautiful melody that taps out.

The former is Time to Say Goodbye, lovely, but, not counting the intro that gets inserted in the middle for padding, it consists of 5 measures complete repeated to 10 total, then again for the 10 after the break. It's a melody that has no development. The other, complete melody is the fantastic opening of TCHAIKOVSKY's Piano Concerto, that dazzles and then is not heard from again, of which a music critic said, "It's as though Hamlet died in the first act."

AI Overview
The Italian song "Con te partirò", later popularized as "Time to Say Goodbye", was composed by Francesco Sartori (music) and Lucio Quarantotto (lyrics). It was originally sung as a solo by Andrea Bocelli before being re-recorded as a duet with Sarah Brightman.
