Bruckner Symphony No. 6 in A Major (October 2018)

The Arabeske, Op. 18, was written in early 1839, perhaps as an act of appeasement in a troubled time. 
The title is informative: an Arabeske or arabesque is an ornament or style of figural, floral, or animal outlines used to create intricate patterns, inspired by Arab architecure. It is also a dance term, a ballet position. A simple ambling tune makes three appearances, interrupted by two minor-key passages. The tune itself is unchanged in each occurrence, but notice how Schumann obliges us to reassess the figure, as though our view changes when seen through the differing shadows cast by the intervening passages.
