Ferdinand Beyer - 6 Morceaux élégants, Op. 80, No. 5 - Der Zigeunerbub im Norden

The Moderato Tempo di Bolero is in 3/4. Measures 1-10 alternate short repeated-note figures with rising chords and brief emphatic or quiet replies. After a short lead-in in measure 11, measures 12-18 present a dotted melody and small ornaments above a recurring lower rhythm of bass notes and chords. Measures 19-25 widen into descending runs and rising arpeggios. Measures 26-62 carry a paired-note melody over repeated lower chords, then introduce quieter single-note phrases, short rising and falling figures, and stronger chord replies.

Measures 63-82, marked tempo at the start, place a chordal melody above continuous lower triplet figures. Paired notes and repeated chord accents lead into rising upper runs and short replies exchanged between the two parts. Measures 83-114 return to a quieter repeated-note figure and expressive melody over recurring lower chords, alternating single notes, octaves, brief ornaments, and fuller chord accents. Measures 115-119 expand into broad rising and falling upper runs, then close with a short paired-note reply.

Measures 120-142 return to the earlier paired-note melody and repeated lower chords, with octave phrases and brief chromatic turns. Measures 143-154, marked tempo at the start, bring back the chordal melody above lower triplet figures and then the accented paired-note melody. Measures 155-162, marked con fuoco at the start, alternate emphatic upper chords and descending runs over lower broken chords. Measures 163-175 exchange short figures across both registers above broad lower arpeggios, build into repeated chord accents, and end with a held A-flat-major harmony.
