Movements entitled: Recitative; Serenade; Burlesque. Movement I is a declamatory statement for the solo instrument, to be played somewhat freely in the manner of a recitation. Movement II contains broadly lyric music of romantic sensibility, most of which is cast in 11/8 meter. Movement III is an energetic, somewhat raucous musical example, somewhat reminiscent of traditional burlesque, a bit impudent in character and with distinctly jazzy overtones. Duration: 8:00 minutes. - the publisher
