Gorgeous in the warm depth of horns sound now the returning tones of the first noble melody, with playful trill of the wood, in antiphonal song of trumpets and strings. A quicker counter-theme lends life and motion to all this play and plot. The Scherzo is wild race-feeling let loose national music that has not yet found a melody.
