Scena is a quasi-operatic scene either for singer and ensemble or for a singer-like solo instrument and ensemble. In this case the solo violin proceeds through several dramatic events roughly signaled in the score as 'Lament', 'Mystical Event' (the arrival of woodwind), 'Romantic event', 'Dream' (slow tremolando swells) and 'Metamorphosis' (which takes and transforms a melody).
