A rousing concert ender, this work will challenge all sections with a wide range (every part shifts), running passage work, trills, and syncopated rhythms. The B section, a lyric waltz theme, shows off the principal players with extended solos. The return of the A section superimposes the waltz melody on the original syncopated theme for a wonderful conclusion.
