The following interpretations have been given enough support to become TRUE.
Scene 1
It is the eve of the Festival of the Crescent Moon, and the womenfolk of
the isle are departing over the river to the Great Temple to celebrate
for a full moon before they return. Alas, the poor lovelorn harpist
watches the boat depart, full of longing, as it takes his heart with it.
So many feelings unspoken...
The man in the bottom right hand
corner of the image is terribly sad. He used to love music and is
watching the two harpists with jealousy as his own lute is discarded on
the floor just out of reach.
