The harmonies are often chordal 6-note clusters andthey are an important binding, articulating and textual element throughout thework.A solo trumpet joins the solo horn and, as the chordal clusters disappearintothe stratosphere, initiates the rhythm of a light-hearted scherzo - 'Lively'. Thetrumpet's rhythmic figure is echoed and developed by the winds.The solo oboe and cor anglais now introduce a very lyrical melody in fallingthirds 'Sensuous'. The chordal clusters as well as the trumpet's rhythmic figureeventually reappear to accompany this melodic theme and then the violinspassionately respond by taking it over - 'Passionato'. All the elements thusunifying to culminate in the coda.These elements could also perhaps be described in non-musical terms as'imagination' [solo horn], 'action' [solo trumpet], 'emotion' [solo oboe and coranglais] which eventually combine in the climax [violins].
