Poème for violin and orchestra, Op. 25

A slow, dark introduction marked Lento e misterioso opens the piece. The main theme, in three beats to the bar, takes shape in section A. In section B the music changes to an animated 6/8 (Animato) and rises to a loud statement, and a new theme enters with section C. In these faster pages the solo violin has sinuous passages in double stops. The opening material returns, and the piece ends with a quiet closing section marked Tranquillo.
