Ferdinand Beyer - Hommage a la Russie, Op. 100, No. 5 - Romance de Werstoffsky

Measures 1-6 open with a Vivace passage in 2/4. Repeated descending upper runs move through different registers above bass notes and chord replies. A held pause separates the opening figures from the theme.

Measures 7-42 present the theme. Strong rolled chords alternate with slurred descending lines, accented notes, and short ornamental replies. A quieter melody enters at measure 23 over regular lower broken chords. The stronger theme figures return and build toward a chordal close.

Measures 43-78 form a variation marked Risoluto. Descending upper runs alternate with accented notes, trills, and rising figures above flowing lower broken chords. From measure 59, the upper line jumps between lower and higher registers while the accompaniment continues. The earlier running figures return before a broad descending and rising arpeggio closes the section.

Measures 79-136 introduce the finale, marked Tempo di Valse in 3/8. Upper octaves and paired notes alternate short slurred figures with accented replies. Bass notes and chord groups give the accompaniment a regular waltz rhythm, and the melody moves repeatedly through different registers.

Measures 137-167 extend the finale through alternating rising and falling upper arpeggios above lower chord replies. The running figures grow stronger before shorter chordal phrases return. Broad upper chords lead into the final low held note with a fermata.
