Overture to the Wind
Expressing the many different moods and events of a storm, the opening begins with the violins playing a gripping ostinato pattern suggesting that a storm is coming. The first two themes convey the erratic tendency of powerful gusty winds. The storm moves into a peaceful lull with a melancholy third theme played by a solo violin and viola. The storm then grows in intensity as the final statement combines all the elements (or themes) of the storm.
