''Gallop is one of the musical fragments from the movie At Full Gallop'' (Cwał), directed by Krzysztof Zanussi. This is music with a strongly illustrative character; the title gallop was shown brilliantly by the composer with purely musical means. The rhythm and articulation of the main theme on the violin and accompanying string orchestra and brass is reminiscent of a galloping horse. With repetitive short rhythmic musical motifs, from the very beginning there is a strong, constant pulse, pounding sounds, a gallop. This piece begins with a calm phrase in the strings, but soon the power of expression gathers, step by step adding more instruments, the musical narrative gets faster and draws to a climax, until the entire orchestra suddenly halts on the last chord.
