Beginning
The piece starts as a segue from the explosive end to "The Three Fates" with an upbeat drum pattern by Carl Palmer. Greg Lake provides a short bass solo over Palmer's drums . Keith Emerson comes in energetically with a trio of keyboards: two clavinets and a piano. The trio's combined improvisation goes on for about a minute, which then Emerson and Lake trade bars of soloing with Palmer.

Famous quotes containing the word beginning:
“As the end of the century approaches, all our culture is like the culture of flies at the beginning of winter. Having lost their agility, dreamy and demented, they turn slowly about the window in the first icy mists of morning. They give themselves a last wash and brush-up, their ocellated eyes roll, and they fall down the curtains.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“Surrealism is not a school of poetry but a movement of liberation.... A way of rediscovering the language of innocence, a renewal of the primordial pact, poetry is the basic text, the foundation of the human order. Surrealism is revolutionary because it is a return to the beginning of all beginnings.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
“In my beginning is my end.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
