Banda (Orchestra di fiati)
Variationen über ein Thema in Eb
Info
The brass presents the basic idea of the piece in the first two measures. The whole band joins in and completes the idea in a rhythmic, melodic and harmonic way. In measure 11, the tenor horn introduces a new motif, enhancing the basic idea. From (B) the develpoment happens in 3/4 time but still with the same thematic material.
A short bridge passage beginning at (D) leads back to the main theme. The second theme appears in a equivalent, contrapunctal way. The music is interrupted by a short interplay at (E), before the main theme reappears in a majestic sound.
