from Deuxiѐme Symphonie in E Minor by Louis Vierne

Background

Vierne's program notes:

CANTABILE

"Written in the form of a symphonic adagio and employing two themes, the fourth movement begins with a little introduction in C-sharp minor, the first four notes of which later serve as the second theme. After the exposition of the main theme, repeated twice in C-sharp minor: first in the soprano, then the tenor, the second theme appears in E major. As it is developed, it passes through C, A-flat, E-flat, C minor, E minor, F major, and D major. The first heme returns in C-sharp minor with a continuous figuration (taken from the second theme) in the bass. This, ornamented, makes one last appearance in C-sharp minor to conclude the piece."[1]
