The piece is structured in four movements, each characterized by a title evoking images or sounds from the natural world. However, the relationship between music and title does not stem from a descriptive intent: it is not the images that generate the music, but rather the music itself that—through its own sonic qualities—evokes specific natural forms and impressions. The titles thus offer a possible key to listening, without exhausting the meaning of the individual movements, which could stand on their own even without them.
