Harnett, William Michaelnotes

Even the songs, one from Bellini's La Sonnambula, and the other the popular song "Helas, Quelle Douleur," are concerned with temporal change. But it is the violin itself, now mute, but worn with use and still dusted with rosin, that speaks most evocatively of past pleasures.
