He was at his wits' end. He resigned himself to return to Krupendorf, the shore opposite his summer retreat empty handed. "At the first stroke of the oars the rhythm and the character of the introduction came into my head", he later wrote to his wife. Armed with this inspiration, he composed like a man possessed - the 1st, 3rd and 5th movements were completed in a month. The summer was saved !  Price: $21.98 |
