"The Song of the Sea" is a more atmospheric piece, with a flowing melody that suggests the ebb and flow of the ocean. "The Train" is a more rhythmic piece, with a driving beat that evokes the sound of a train in motion. "The Waltz of Lost Dreams" is a more romantic piece, with a sweeping melody that suggests a sense of yearning or regret. Finally, "The Return" is a more triumphant piece, with a bold melody that suggests a sense of homecoming or victory. Overall, Six Popular Pictures, Op. 5 is a diverse and engaging collection of pieces that showcases Hadjidakis' skill as a composer and his ability to evoke a wide range of emotions through his music.
