| Description: Named for the west wind, this grade 3 original work makes use triplets to depict a sense of swirling motion. A forward-moving theme in B minor is passed between sections, accompanied by a steady staccato pulse that gives way to a faster, rhythmic section in D major. Swelling crescendos and decrescendos portray the sweeping ebb and flow of the wind. An excellent piece for working on extended finger patterns, bowing styles, and dynamic changes. |
