Fairies, Witches and Hunting Calls

Ok, how cool is it when an instrument can make you invision fairies flying around? Overture to a Midsummer Night's Dream really feels like you are transported to an enchanted world. The rapid staccato notes of the violins sound like little fairies flying quickly and then when the music changes, and it is more melodic, I invision them slowing down and gliding. I like how Berlioz used the wood to hit the strings to make it seem like crackling fire in Symphonic fantastique. I enjoy the Romantic period because if you close your eyes you can invision what the music is playing. Witches dancing, fairies flying (quick violins), evil villans, horses running at breakneck speed (the piano playing constantly through the song) and the full brasses in The Great Gate of Kiev really does give the impression of a parade passing proudly beneath the gate.
