Work Overview
The shaping of the phrases and the changing tempo indicators are
needed to convey the free and gentle motion of the waves. In the
first and third sections, the repeated D in the bass and the D
pedal point in the meno mosso section serve as a reminder of the
underlying power and endurance of the sea which is far beyond
human limitations. This changes to F and G flat (at the end)
signifying an ever-changing sea. The colours
are understated throughout the piece. The use of the sustaining
pedal and/or una corda pedal to convey an Impressionistic feel is
needed in the second, meno mosso and fourth sections.
