Possessing a soloistic texture and variations in instrumental color defined by Grove's as "chamber music for full orchestra," this 1909 work demonstrates the composer's daring explorations in music that renounces motivic connections and tonality. Includes bar-numbered movements and ample margins at the bottom of each page for notes and analysis.
