HOLY WEEK AND EASTER

This time there is a time signature, 3/4, but again no key signature because it would just get in the way. It’s marked “reverie, quite slow”, but there are episodes marked “robust, moderate and rather fast”.

In the slow sections, he makes time expand and contract, almost stopping at times. In the fast sections, the cello imitates an air raid siren with a wild glissando. At 6:12, he marks it “ecstatic”, and the piano plays arpeggios while the other instruments play a series of trills. It ends wildly, as a jumble should.
