Traditional setting; acc.

Traditional setting, slightly contemporary- begins with piano in a motif of the theme. The first section is a stylized rendition of the theme. Then, it continues in the chorus much the same. A transition becomes freer in rhythm and harmony. It then repeats back to the opening sections and then moves to the coda where the piece ends in a solemn fashion.

Combined with music from Brahms Second Symphony in the opening. The second section is more straight-forward of the tune itself where it moves to the thematic material of Brahms once again. The coda section is tranquil where it comes to a final rest.

Written in typical passacaglia (theme in the bass line) and Fugue fashion, the theme is presented in the piano. The first variation is a gently modified tune in duple with the accompaniment in triplets. In variation two, the tune is rhythmically altered while the upper accompaniment is presented in a spritely fashion. Variation three, the tune is in a triplet moving nature while the theme is in block harmonization in the accompaniment. Variation four is expressive in an almost cadenza fashion. Finally, the Fugue is in a lively four voice manner, ending with a strong proclamation of the title, itself.

This solo begins with a easy lilt underpinned by a gentle accompaniment. Moving into the second section of the piece the tune is embellished in a variation format of chromatic triplets. It repeats back to the first section and proceeds to a Coda section- again, in a triplet format.
