And thanks to Wikipedia we know:







The Hebrides Overture also known as Fingal's Cave, is an overture composed by Felix Mendelssohn. It was inspired by a cavern known as Fingal's Cave on Staffa, an island in the Hebrides. The piece was written in 1830 and dedicated to King Frederick William IV of Prussia.



The music, though labelled as an overture is actually a complete work. It depicts a mood and "sets a scene". It consists of two primary themes; the opening notes of the overture describe his visit to the cave, and is played initially by the violas, cellos, and bassoons. The second theme depicts movement at sea and the rolling waves.
