This short work by Reinhold Glière appeals to players of all abilities.  It is straightforward, and the majority of the piece falls within the horns middle range, making it accessible to high school students.  Advanced players will also enjoy the work’s range as it is not taxing to one’s endurance, making it an excellent addition to a strenuous a recital program.  The piece relies heavily on syncopation and the juxtaposition of duplet and triplet figures; these help create the work’s introspective and contemplative mood.  The performer is able to demonstrate his/her creative prowess in a brief recitative-like-section that precedes the final statement of the main melody.
