III. Nausicaa

Szymanowski: Métopes/3: Nausicaa. The impressionistic Métopes was composed in 1915, following a visit to Sicily. It is a triptych whose title refers to the spaces on a classical frieze in which a sculptor would add decorative scenes, and each section depicts a character and location from Homer‘s Odyssey.
