An ostinato of crotchets supports a driving quaver-note melody in the key of A minor. Many techniques are explored, including staccato, two-note slurs, hooked bowing, and pizzicato. A frantic, spooky race, with a few accidentals along the way.
This E minor piece emphasizes the importance of counting and rests. It includes simple rhythms, techniques like staccato, tenuto, pizzicato, and tremolo, and two sections for orchestra improvisation.
