![]() ![]() There is a staggering amount of rhythmic activity to which takes place in this movement and features solo material from the cornet, alto saxophone, and clarinets. The second movement begins with the indication Andantino grazioso and is also in a binary form. The movement contains a five-note motif which is played in quartile structure, a technique to which Hindemith was rather fond of. This movement is in a binary form and makes use of several dotted eighth sixteenth figures throughout.

In this part, the use of the tenor clef is written. ![]() One aspect of the score which is interesting takes place in the first trombone part. The French horns are placed in between the trombones and euphonium which was also considered to be peculiar. ![]() If one were to look at the score of this piece, they would notice that the bassoons are listed below the bass clarinet instead of with the double reeds.
