Jesus!!!! This is exactly 8th time I'm trying to upload this video. What is wrong with this site?

Alright, again, I was going to talk a little more about how Oedipus can be compared to what I've played in this recording, but my wonderful digital camera always tend to turn off itself, especially when it's being touched or moved while recording. So I have no patient to redo it from the beginning, I am just going to write brief explains.

The first part (-00:50) is the introduction of the story. The King Laius finds out that his son is cursed and going to kill his father and marry to his mother, so he decides to abandon him.

The second part(-01:05) could be the part that a shepherd rescues the baby and names him Oedipus.

The third part (-01:22) is a part that Oedipus has an fight with his father and kills him without knowing that it's his father.

The fourth part (-01:47) sounds like Oedipus's dealing with the riddle of the Sphinx.

The fifth part (-02:07) represents Oedipus's new life as a King, and also as a husband of his mother. He still doesn't know about it, but he's finally find out what he have done in the part six(-02:20), and from 02:21 to the end, it makes the scene of the tragedic ending.

These could sound weird and maybe you don't agree with me, but this is just how I feel about the story. Oh, and the name of this piece is Suite Opus.14 by Bela Bartok #1.
