First published: unknown. Completeness: unknown.Wild Rider is a lively A-minor character piece with a galloping 6/8 rhythm. A darting melody and clipped accompanying chords create a sense of constant forward motion. The opening tune rises and falls in short, accented bursts. In the contrasting middle section, the melody moves to the lower voice while the upper chords keep the same rhythmic drive. The original arrangement then returns, carrying the familiar theme to a crisp minor-key ending. Interesting fact: the middle section reverses the hands' musical roles, placing the running melody below the chordal accompaniment.
