  [Play]   Rondo Theme    A fast theme built out of a syncopated motive is played




  [Play]   A    first by the orchestra, next by the piano (in a new key).
  [Play]       A modulation is carried out by the piano.
  [Play]   B    Syncopated, bluesy theme (piano and strings; in a new key)
  [Play]   A    Sudden return to A in the piano
  [Play]   C    Jaunty muted-trumpet phrase--slowdown--trumpet again
  [Play]   A    An expanded, developmental version of A, blended with the C motive
  [Play]       A in the xylophone
  [Play]       A in the piano, very briefly
  [Play]   D    A sentimental new tune in the strings; the piano answers with C.
  [Play]       Brass instruments play a loud contrapuntal treatment of C.
  [Play]   A    Another sudden appearance of A in the piano and xylophone
  [Play]   E    A new, playful tune in the strings (with piano runs); the piano answers with C, once again.
  [Play]       Brief piano solo
  [Play]   A    The climactic orchestral presentation of A; big slowdown
  [Play]   B    A gong stroke introduces a loud, slow, swinging, version of B in the orchestra (the piano plays chords). This dies down for a moment.
  [Play]   A    The climactic piano presentation of A, back in the original tempo; orchestral crescendo
  [Play]   Coda    Nine powerful timpani strokes quote the first-movement theme. The piano winds the piece up.
