A Scherzo, after the ballad of Goethe, "The Sorcerer's Apprentice," tells the famous story of the boy who in his master's absence compels the spirit in the broom to fetch the water; but he cannot say the magic word to stop the flood, although he cleaves the demon-broom in two. Dukas uses them later in divided violins, violas and cellos, having thus a triad of harmonics doubled in the octave.
