Comments:
This work present 4 differents scenes from different cantos of Dante's Hell from his Divine Commedy.
This first scene presents the entrance to the Hell and Caron. The music combines moments that tries to reproduce screaming and fear with other that simbolizes Dante (3:40 for ex.), with a sort of a leitmotiv (or a Dante's Theme), which will appear in other movements of this work (II and IV)
lovely strings by the middle.
