Extra Information This work is resembling to the poetry "Spring" by Christina Rossetti, with much of the words used as descriptions to different section of the piece.

Navigation etc.

Instead of providing a largely Spring-style work, in this work I decided to diminish the importance of the actual Spring element. Thus, in 11 mins, there's only 2-3 mins that's really "Spring" (corresponding to second stanza of the poem). The work itself shows how Spring is started, flourished, and how Spring is died.

I deliberately chose 2 existing themes for this work: opening ofJoachim Raff's Symphony No.8 ("Spring Sounds"), which corresponds to what before the Spring, and Carl Reinecke's Violin Concerto in G major, which do the opposite.

This is actually a Passacaglia, but using such form, time signature and lengthy bassline. This creates a unique mood that I enjoy providing everyone with.
