**Annotation**: This relatively unknown work written in three movements, can be used to introduce
students to a variety of formal structures, including the fugue (Movement 3). The writing in the
fugue has many metric modulations, which can be challenging if the players are unfamiliar with
the fugue subject. Playing the line together up to the first episode will help the players match
articulation and phrasing and allow them to become more familiar with the line.
