A lyrical piano solo ending with the scalic descent on the harp. Interactions between piano and orchestra. Cantabile strings without piano. A clarinet initiates a restless agitato. A wistful piano solo.
Woodwinds lead into a long scalic descent from the piano.
A waltz related to the passacaglia theme, which increasingly dominates. The piano leads in a fugato. A light moto perpetuo, mostly piano. The piano retires and the passacaglia theme enters like a chorale. The piano returns to dominate the ending.
