To me, this is a piece that cannot be analyzed-- no understanding of the harmonic movements or instrumentation can capture more than a tiny fragment of the piece's genius.
Much of Mozart, like the piano Sonatas, is simple enough to be reproduced by a competent student in my opinion, but this. . . this is something really special.
Have to add the death of Aerith. The theme starts at 2:24.
Best moment in all of gaming history IMO. . . my daughter and I were playing through this, and she pretty much broke down. I got "dust in my eye" and had to retire to the bathroom for a minute.
Not only a musical moment, but one of the highlights of my memories of my daughter.
