Brief AI Commentary
The finale of Summer releases the storm anticipated throughout the concerto. Rapid scales, repeated notes, and violent orchestral replies turn heat and fear into a compressed burst of motion.
Revich chooses an exceptionally fast tempo while keeping the solo line sharply defined. The result is less a picturesque storm than an immediate physical event.
