For brass quintet and optional piano and substitute brass parts. After a brief introduction the theme is presented in an echoing fashion giving a great deal of texture. A modulation takes place and the texture is more block and majestic with rhythmic movements. More modulation occurs and the meter now changes as well and again the melodic material is passed around the ensemble in an almost free form. The coda quickly shifts back to the original meter and the piece becomes quite rhythmic leading up to a final conclusive figure.
