Description
This piece was composed in 1957, before Wellesz became better known as a musicologist. It is marginally pitch-centric, with a pensively lyrical first movement, a rather grotesque march, and a rousing finale. The music is moderately challenging and ascends to C5, and deserves to be played more.
