Background
Vierne's program notes:
ADAGIO
"The Adagio is a developed form of a song without words, the first part, on foundation stops and celestes, is followed by a short phrase that serves as a link and introduction to a middle movement on eight-foot stops at slightly increased speed. Te opening theme then returns, first on the Swell pianissimo, then taken on an eight-foot flute on another manual, ending in B major with arhythmically altered version of the first theme."[1]
- post-Wagnerian chromaticism
- Dorian mode[2]
