    As discussed in the background of the piece, Rimsky-Korsakov uses many melodic figures throughout the different movements of Sheherazade to tie the whole piece together.  One of these figures is the violin cadenza heard at the beginning of the fourth movement.  To hear the violin cadenza, click here.  (Note: None of the listening links will work unless you have the Voyager CDLink Application and the CD!)
