She pushes Capt. Picard ever gently more and more out of his comfort zone. She was perfect for him. Trying that flute, knowing she couldn't succeed just to lure him into demonstrating it to her. Then gently nudge him into sharing music and emotions of a life time. It would've been easier for Picard to never have such interactions and never be confronted with his locked up feelings. But if he was ever to open up, she was the perfect woman to guide him. I love Inner Light + Duet, it's a work of art and genius.

@@Paul-pk9ot But in the show she did go near him, she did do the woman maneuver to gently nudge him into playing for her and in time getting him to open up with music to get close to him. It wasn't till the firestorm that was a rare event that needed her skills that ended up putting her life in danger that reminded Picard why he never allowed him self to get close to someone under him.... As he was unsure if he could order the person he loved to her death...She sure played him to get him to open up when he kept his emotions locked away...

[@michaelfields8619]

+Frederick Schenk I'm not sure what this has to do with Star Trek, but I disagree. First off to tell if the child truly learned anything is very subjective. I did pretty well in school (I was tested as gifted) in any case I was able to recite facts, at the time of the tests, but today I for the life of me can't remember those facts, because that's all they were...facts. There is no way to quantify whether the child has really "learned" anything with our current mode of testing. And putting another restriction on children is another means of control. I don't want to go off on a rant here, but haven't we as a society had enough restrictions put on us? We Americans were getting too liberal about our civil liberties. The government tried to control society in the late 60' early 70's but the masses resisted. so how do you get the keys to the castle? You capitalize of a huge tragedy and have the masses give you the keys. I used to be able to walk my sister to the gate at the airport to see her off, not anymore, I used to go to the government building (my bank is located there) and go through a metal detector, now I have to take off my shoes, belt, (I figure soon were're going to have to strip butt naked and still walk through a metal detector to get into any Government building). We have enough control. All I did with my children was instill a love of learning at an early age, praise them when they were learning their ABC's, had them read me a bedtime story, and so on. Now my son is in College, and my daughter is a Sophmore in high school and an A-B student. I don't think I did anything any reasonable parent didn't or hadn't.

I came here thinking that's all the comments would be saying. Like nearly noone seems to have noticed! I can't watch the scene without crying...from laughter.

This video is great! at 4:25 when he freestyles a little bit with the notes its so freaking sick! Love it!

Picard acts as widower (whom in fact ... he is), unwilling to disgrace memory of beloved, long deceased wife....

[@basteagui]

1:52 "That is remarkable! It's like something out of a Skymall Catalogue from 2006!" "A what?" "Never mind, let me just create a grand piano on this replicator and I'll join in."

Man, I can’t believe I didn’t remember this episode. It’s absolutely magical.

[@wolvie14]

This is the kind of scene you won't see in most sci-fi series. And what creates emotion. This brings tears of joy to me every time

Picard has had many romances in Star Trek, but to me, this one feels special, not just because I can relate to how music can bring people together, but because with the help of the music, these two characters had a special kind of chemistry that felt a lot more... real than most of the things you can expect from a 40 minute episode. And this was made possible by the producers actually having the courage to just show them sit down, talk and play for an extended period of time, with no additional explosions or political/diplomatic drama to serve as a distraction. Awesome stuff.

I learn a hell of a lot about playing music in this clip than I ever did in any class.
