The opening movement of Alkan’s Symphony for Solo Piano, Op. 39 No. 4 in C minor, presents a dark syncopated theme and contrasting dolce and cantando material in its exposition (mm. 1–109). The development reshapes these ideas through changing registers, textures, and keys (mm. 110–185), before the opening theme and lyrical material return in an expanded recapitulation (mm. 186–397). Descending runs and massive chords lead into a sustained quiet close (mm. 398–413).
