In music we use letters to designate different sections to help us understand structure. (Section A, B, C, etc.) In this short piece, composer Emilio Pujol is describing a bee. I’ve marked the different sections for you. Listen to the piece a few times and construct a story or describe the events that this bee may be going through. How to do the sections differ or change in mood?

In both 1.) and 2.), part of the music is about the performing showing off great technique and a bit of humor. At the same time, a composer has to be wildly creative to paint a portrait of a flying insect using music. What does Rimsky-Korsakov do to portray his version of the bumblebee? What’s the story? What’s the atmosphere?
