The Knight and the Squire set out on their journey. “In a leisurely
manner,” D minor, 12-8. The beautiful Dulcinea of Toboso inspires the
Knight (a version of the “Ideal Woman” theme), who soon sees some
windmills (brass) and prepares to attack. A breeze arises (wood-wind and
strings), and the Knight, angry at the challenge, attacks, and is
knocked down by the sails (run in wood-wind, harp _glissando_, heavy
drum-beats).
