The string section offers a formidable display of musical effects, including the ethereal harmonics, sweeping glissandi, sharp pizzicato, and dramatic tremolo. The piece also features a brief showcase by a quartet of soloists. As the piece comes to a close, the opening melody is referenced once again, and the sound of a cascading waterfall is heard in the distance. Musicians will revel in the opportunity to bring this breathtaking musical landscape to life with their artistry and imagination.
