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.

This series may be used with children and adults in cases where a traditional method is not the best fit, or as a supplement to any piano method. It is designed to provide the elementary-level reading, technique, and theory skills required for preparatory-level piano literature. The clean layout without instruction allows teachers freedom to adapt it to each student and each situation. The Repertoire book provides students with short, progressive pieces starting on middle-C position. The last piece, Twilight, has students moving to new five-finger positions with each four-measure phrase: C major, F major, G major, and F minor. A CD of duet accompaniments is included. Each accompaniment is presented in at least two tempos: a practice tempo and a performance tempo. The Technic and Theory books support the pieces in the Repertoire book.

Originally composed for piano solo, the Sevillanas movement is based on a Castilian folk dance from the 15th century. Sevillanas are festival dances, danced with partners during times of celebration. This arrangement requires students to have a solid command of flats, sharps, accidentals, and some chromaticism; at a brisk tempo, it has key changes throughout.
