Well, the Aria of course! Little soothing melody that just sets your mind for all the magic that is about to come.

A poll might be useful here.

There are many variations I love, but I'll nominate the "Overture".

My favorite is the Aria. Peter Williams calls it the first variation (though it is technically the theme, I suppose).

Aria.  Then Variation 15, I think...  When Aria returns at the end, it feels very different.  Does this count as two movements??
