Sea Foam: ''Allegro vivo'' * "Sea-foam froths among the low-lying rocks and pools on the shore, playfully not stormy." 〔〔 3. Moonlight: ''Adagio non troppo'' * "A calm sea at night. The first moonbeams are struggling to pierce through dark clouds, which eventually pass over, leaving the sea shimmering in full moonlight."〔〔 4. Storm: ''Allegro energico – Allegro moderato e largamente'' * "Wind, rain and tempestuous seas, with the lulling of the storm an () to the first number is heard and which may be regarded as the sea-lover's dedication to the sea."〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Sea (Bridge)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
