I feel several different emotions throughout this piece which to me doesn't necessarily make me think about an airplane at all but certainly makes me think about dark emotions and suicide.
The opening to me highlights a suggestion to die but this didn't become clear until near the end when there is a really low repeated notes in the RH which doesn't occur in the opening pattern, it almost signified that the intention to die finally became a reality, just those simple low notes. I couldn't believe that it was so effective for me, it was almost like I was dying when playing those and then how it quietens down to nothing and slows, like a heart stopping. It also made me reflect and read some meaning behind it, that there is a small line between the intention to die and actually choosing to die.
There is a strong Rh melodic chords it almost sounded to me like some call for help to the negative emotion to death, but they are overwhelmed by a string of scales and trills which to me is the negative emotion of wanting to die.
When the Lh plays octave patterns and the RH many repeated notes, this signifies the acceptance to actually go about dying, no more thinking about it we are going to do it. Like there is no more struggle between living and dying, that we have chosen to die now. The chaos rises and clouds normal judgement and hope for salvation.
The Lh then takes on a 2 crotchet then 2 quaver pattern continuously this makes me think about actually putting the poison up to the lips, or what have you. During this there is a brief moment when the Rh shouts out its octave patterns in the upper registry as well as some grace note patterns in desperation but it is nothing and swallowed up. To me the choice of death is like a poison or something slow, not instant because we return back to the opening theme and the heart slowly stops.
