I'm doing this piece with my college musica appreciation class.  I have
always assumed that it is programatic, but none of the books I have give
the program, nor does the CD insert.  Does anyone out there know what is
being described? When a piece is intentionally programatic, I like to give
the program to my students as part of understanding what the composer is
trying to do.  Am I correct in remembering that the music is after a play,
but Ibsen maybe?
