“The repose of his tired limbs is disturbed
By the fear of the lightning and fiery thunder,
And by a furious swarm of flies and wasps.”

There is one part of the 1st vln music that sticks in my head.

It’s in the second phrase where the first violins come in each time before the Presto accompaniment. It’s where the slurred noters end in the high B flat and C I think 2 times each, and those single note cadences just shimmer with glowing light all the way through my spine, brain stem, and to my frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes~ <3!

Revision: It’s in 6:30 – 7  in the video.  The soloist however puts in some rather unneccessary ornaments in between the sustained notes…

Here’s a video as a visual.

Wonderful piece.
