(regarding the prelude from suite two)... The key is minor, the three notes a tragic triad. The tones move closer and closer to a harrowing vision, weaving spiter-like, relentlessly gathering sound into thighter concentric circle that come to an abrupt stop. Nothing fills the empty space. A tiny prayer is uttered. Eric Siblin

The third movement, marked "Largo" or “largo,” is in the key of F major. The orchestra plays the three movements in that order.
