Tausend und eine Nacht (Thousand and One Nights), Op.
The second section was contributed from the act 2 bacchanal "Lasst frei nun erschallen das Lied aus der Brust".
Introduction.The waltz's dreamy introduction is played by a sonorous clarinet evoking a distinctive Arabian feel.
The first waltz is robust and energetic, with a trio section of comparatively less-rigorous character.
The first waltz theme makes a hesitant entry again, accelerating into its breathless and brilliant conclusion, with repeated chords, with a strong drumroll and brass flourish.
