Johann Strauss the Younger, Thunder and Lightning Polka

This fast dance music is one of the author's most famous polkas and was composed in 1868. Johann Strauss Jr. deliberately added a lot of "timpani tremolo" to this piece, and coupled with the cymbals, it vividly depicts the sounds of wind, thunderstorms and lightning in nature.

The whole song is a trilogy of "ABA", showing a warm atmosphere from beginning to end.

Section A has two themes. The first theme is a foreshadowing of the coming storm, and the atmosphere is lively; in the second theme, the sound of "thunder and lightning" can be clearly heard, as if it really happened. The theme of section B is interspersed with the singing-like melody, with scenes like "thunder and lightning" interspersed from time to time, with intertwined colors and vivid colors. Incomparable. The total duration of the whole song is not long, but it is enough to leave an indelible impression on the listener.
