Incomplete

Sometimes the best pieces of art are the ones that seem unfinished.

This is the way I feel about this piece of music by Michael Nyman.
I wouldn't recommend watching the video, though, it's truly horrid. Just listen to the music.

When you listen to this, it's like there is this lack of completeness. You can hear the missing parts, the parts that aren't there. And you long for them to be fulfilled. The missing parts live only inside your own mind and the fact that you know that, is what makes it so beautiful. You can see perfection through the cracks.
