Program Notes
This tumultuous piece depicts two characteristics of the title, the frantic collecting of things together in a disorderly way, and darting about quickly with a sense of urgency. Once the theme is presented the fun really starts! The action revs up as the musical "parts" are separated and combined in unique and haphazard combinations, all at break-neck speed that will leave everyone breathless.
