Writing about this musical work, the composer spoke of two unifying threads, which consist of a thunderous motif with a full orchestra that introduces the first and fourth movements and a cadenza-like violin solo. In the third section, two characters are identified with strings and a clarinet, and that section contains an allegretto with parts for snare drum. A shipwreck on a rock topped by the statue of a bronze horseman is illustrated in the last movement, which brings in a bassoon part from the title character of a previous section. Including such movements as The Story of the Kalander Prince and The Sea and Sinbad's Ship, FTP, identify this composition by Rimsky- Korsakov named for the Persian queen in The Thousand and One Nights.
