A quick figure that circles around neighboring notes before falling away drives the music through a long sequence of shifting textures. The figure first appears high above sustained lower harmonies, then moves into the bass beneath a slower upper line. At times both parts share the rapid motion; elsewhere a gently connected melody floats above repeated lower patterns. The middle introduces darker harmonies and wide changes of register before the opening sound reappears. Later sequences gather strength over fuller chords, then give way to a descending, diminishing passage. A few widely spaced broken chords lead to the quiet final note. Despite its very fast tempo marking, the piece ends pianissimo on a single sustained bass note, reducing the busy texture to one remaining sound.
