Trauerfarben und Verklärung

This very melancholic piece opens with a melody made of “mourning colored” notes which pass from one instrument to another. Then the music becomes more and more luminous with the successive enrichment of the instrumentation.

Instrumentation: 2(picc.),2(eh),2(bcl.),2 - 2.2.2.0 - timpani, piano (ad lib.) - strings
