This elegant and nostalgic piece depicts gentle snow falling as twilight fades on a winter’s eve. The legato theme is heard in several sections, featuring a flowing accompaniment. Rich harmonies, slurs, and sustained pedal-tone pitches allow students to work on playing with good tone and bow control. The contrasting staccato section sparkles like snowflakes in the golden sun, with easy meter changes and a playful syncopated feel. In a quiet finale, the piece ends with a soft diminuendo reflecting the last rays of sunlight, vanishing over the darkening horizon.
