This is the first of the works representing a great synthesis, a union of the paradigm of logical form; its developmental stages are clearly planned out, the points of tension and relaxation - intelligible, but already shaped with the use of new means of expression. Above all, the composer gave up the motivic technique as a basis for constructing the form. Some quasi-thematic sections do appear, however, as well as their recapitulation at the end of the composition. The performers have an opportunity to display their technical abilities. It is, however, necessary for both the conductor and the orchestra to maintain strict discipline throughout the composition. [M. Gąsiorowska, op. cit.]
