01 / The first 30 seconds
30-second entrance
Do not wait only for the four notes. Hear how the orchestra turns a tiny motive into a machine that moves forward.
00:00–01:00: after the four notes, keep following the strings’ push.
02 / LISTEN FOR
Three things to wait for
- A small motive compressing itself
- Strings locking like gears
- The room hardening when brass enters
