EXTRA INFO
"Ivan the fool" is a musical composition based on a tale by Leon Tolstoi.
It is written in four parts referring to different moments in the story, where Tolstoi ironically names as "Fool"
people who earned their bread honestly, who did not know about greed or ambition.
In the second movement we find the characters of three imps, where the music echoes this mysterious and dramatic environment, which is defeated in the 3rd movement by Ivan, the main character.
At the end of the piece, the interpreters have to pronounce the interjection: Yeah! with which,
Ivan's character responded to all his adversities.
