About:
Introduction and Dance Macabre is split into three distinct sections. The first, introduction, grows from a small seed into a grandiose presentation of the work's theme. The second, a calm interlude, begins to deconstruct the theme and leads directly into the final section, a dance, which warps the melody until the cataclysmic end.
