Alkan’s Le Festin d’Ésope, Op. 39 No. 12 in E minor, states a compact eight-measure theme in detached chords and rests (mm. 1–8). Twenty-five variations transform it through brilliant chordal writing, repeated notes, lyrical and sostenuto episodes, contrapuntal textures, and mounting climaxes (mm. 9–267). The closing passage contracts from sweeping diminished figuration into a quiet, sustained recall, then ends with a sudden emphatic chord (mm. 268–278).
