Op. 9, Fourth Symphony, dedicated to Julia
A quiet evening. A little girl gets lost in a wood and loses consciousness
of time. Having thus walked a long time, she finally gets to an abandoned
castle, just as she begins to feel sleepy. The exterior of the castle looks
frightening and the little girl is very scared of the stone monsters which
watch over the entrance of the building.
After pushing the heavy gate open, she enters the castle. Inside only a pale
moonbeam finds his way through a narrow window. It is enough for the girl to
see a high-vaulted hall and tapestries, representing ancient battles, which
still hang on the walls.
After climbing many steps, the little girl gets to the top of a high tower,
where she finds a dusty bed. Before falling asleep, she sits gazing at the
moonlit wood around the castle.
