The piece conveys rapid motion &#8212; as in a fast run &#8212; as well as a sense of exertion and onward momentum. It intensifies toward the end and reaches a sudden, rapid conclusion &#8212; as a runner might do upon completing a predetermined distance.<\/p>\n<p>The entire work is built upon four chords in C minor, which are arranged in a variety of ways &#8212; with the main melody (A) being interspersed with related but structurally different melodies and becoming more intense, powerful, and rapid with each repetition. The structure of the piece is ABA&#8217;CA&#8221;DA&#8221;&#8217;E, where E is the conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>All the notes of this piece are either sixteenth notes or thirty-second notes, making it quite difficult for a human musician to perform.
