Program Notes

The introduction, Misterioso, of this setting tries to convey a quiet country scene. The English title, The Ash Grove, can be used to conjure a picture of morning mist rising with the sun, through an avenue of trees. The piece should be played with serenity and a calmness found in such an imaginary countryside picture.
