The depiction of nature is as old as music, since spring, and even human nature is already featured in folk songs and medieval music. It was meant first to appear only in vocal pieces for a long time. Still, storms and bird songs appear already in Baroque instrumental works. When we look into music history, we can find the burbling of streams, the sunrise, evening melancholy, night music, and fabulous landscapes there. These are primarily reflections, where man can revisit his own existence, emotions and relationship with his environment.
