The five-movement arc makes the storm-to-finale transition structural, though the unspecified 1989 performers and recording leave craft difficult to assess.

What we noticed

  • The five movements move from a broad opening to a flowing Andante, then a rustic dance interrupted by a storm.
  • The storm leads directly into the finale, whose calmer, songlike character turns the previous movement's agitation into a resolution.

Reshaped what followed. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
