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? Roy Ellefsen <[log in to unmask]>
