|---|
|
Lively dance piece (based on Tarantella dance in 9/8 meter) at
fast tempo (molto vivace) for piano and string quartet.
5-Part form A1-B1-A2-B2-A3, with introduction and coda.
The theme is developed in Sections A1 and A2 in counterpoint
style, with stretto in A3. The B-sections are in 3/4 meter and
are based on Mixo-Lydian and Phrygian mode, presenting reminiscences
of the main theme.
