“A piece in which the composer tries – and very successfully – to vividly describe the enormous impression that any bright phenomenon of nature makes on children. There are naturally sounding bold sonic Ā«blotsĀ» (a chord-stain of two side-by-side seconds), and, precisely falling drops, slow rehearsals on one note, and simply a Ā«Theme of AmazementĀ» before the occurrence (a gentle and beautiful melody descending from the heights).”
