Roller Coaster Ride with the 1812 Overture

This music was composed by Peter Tchaikovsky, a. Russian composer.  The 1812 Overture became the theme music for "The Lone Ranger" in radio, television and film.   Now let's back up a bit --  What is an overture? It is an instrumental introduction to a ballet, opera, or and oratorio in the 17th century.  Later on, Overtures existed on their own.

In this music, listen for the ending when the giant arches appear, the music has a strong accent (the music is louder on an accent) at each of the arches.  Can you discover other areas where something is happening in the music and something is also happening on the screen?  I can think of quite a few, but I would like to see if you find some!
