 2:00: Here the pace has quickened and slows down slightly at 2:06. At 2:14 the violins play higher notes while the viola and cello contrast and play lower notes. The music is happy.  3:30: Here the viola is prominent. The other instruments play quieter and in the back ground. The viola’s rich sound is soothing here. All instruments go soft again to a pause at 3:29

 4:00: Over the next 10 seconds, the instruments pause, play a note, pause, and play a note until 4:11 when with force and loudly the violins begin the cello playing and pausing behind them.
