Through the Trees is a great piece for comparing minor and major tonalities. Its graceful and alluring melody outlines the tonic and dominant triads of E minor which gets transposed into a slightly quicker, more cheerful G major section, and finally returns to E minor for a more sombre ending. Each iteration of the melody is accompanied in a slightly different way, maintaining musical interest and sophistication throughout the piece.
