Lazy summer heat and a furious summer storm are portrayed in Summer from The Four Seasons. Verano by Piazzolla suggests the energetic bustle of summer in the South American city. Swiss composer Arthur Honegger, while on vacation near Bern in 1920, was inspired by his surroundings to compose the short symphonic poem Pastorale d’été depicting a peaceful early morning in the Swiss Alps.
