Composer Note:

There are four concise movements. The first, a fast movement with vigorous rhythmic motives and sharp contrasts between sections; the second, a scherzo in rondo form with lyrical episodes; in the third movement the material is at first very fragmented, but then builds with cumulative effect to the climax at the end, (this is the main climax of the whole work the last movement is slow and very short.
