The work lasts approximately 30 minutes. – 1st mvt. a Fantasia in Free Variation form without a "Theme" using the name melodically and harmonically – 2nd mvt. Adagio – 3rd mvt. Sortie in the style of Lefebure-Wély – 4th mvt. Aria on a Ground, the name theme is used harmonically as a ground bass with an independent melody which reverses at halfway in a mirror motion – 5th mvt. a Toccata in rondo form using both themes.
