P, where a whole new set of motives is introduced and the previous motives are
completely abandoned in favor of a static texture. The effect of this is that the narrative of
the piece stops abruptly, and the tension which has slowly been building is released long
before the climax of the work.

In consideration of the link between the narrative and the music, sections C-g] are
ambiguous. Figure 3 illustrates one possible interpretation along with musical rationale
behind this analysis. While of the five events from the program note, the “people
watching,” the “storm,” and the “aftermath” are very clear musically, there are several
sections that musically suggest either “stillness” or “light rippling wind” or both.
