This waltz-style piece features a gentle melody with unique harmonies to create a tranquil and mysterious mood. Perfect for the developing string orchestra, the simple rhythms are limited to mainly half notes and quarter notes, but the beautiful melody and rich countermelodies give the ensemble a mature sound.These rhythm patterns continue calmly but the main melody and the counter melodies move emotionally within the harmonies.The climax of this piece occurs at m. 43, preceded by rising and falling dynamics. Play each phase carefully to build up to the emotional peak, then as the main theme returns at m. 55, the music can be played clearly and with a “risoluto” feeling. Imagine two people dancing under wisteria throughout the piece.
