Additional info/contents	This piece of music is a dance-like rondo for wind orchestra, where the classical form is essentially enriched by the symphonic arrangement of folk music. It is a very rhythmic composition, where the continuous succession of simple and duple time - like "Zwiefacher" (a Bavarian dance, alternating between duple and triple time) - represents an important artistic shaping and expressive device. Taking up traditional thematic constructions and melodies, Hütten seems to caricature them a little. The composition shows how to give rise a brilliant work from such elements and themes. Hütten pulls almost all the stops. This requires excellent musicians for every instrument, being able to meet with the diversity of the composition. The instrumentation is very brilliant. The composition will be a special highlight of concert programs of upper grade orchestras, offering the elevated and instructed audience entertainment in the true sense of the word.
