Work introduction
This work is a
symphonic showpiece for orchestra. Berger
was right to call the first section con
fuoco; enormous energy drives the music as it reels forward, head over
heels, the strings providing thumping rhythmical accents while bells peal and
the winds blaze out alerts. A meno mosso
section, twice recurring, is evocative of Mahler, but does not last long before
the breathless furioso regains the
upper hand.
