Does this piece have 5 "subjects"? At the beginning, at 0:36, 0:59, 1:14, and 1:40. Anyway, what an interesting piece.

[musanim]

@ScrollingMusic Yes, at least five.

@RonJoe223 Depends what you mean by "part." There are are certain number of instruments/voices/lines. There are a certain number of sections to the piece. And there are a certain number of themes/motives/subjects/melodi­es. Only the first of these has an definite number (four); the others are debatable.

[acc96build]

@ScrollingMusic I think it's only 4 subjects: you are seeing two instruments overlap, I think. (After all, he only has 4 instruments playing)

Thanks so much for posting! I've been trying to track down this selection (with only a vague memory of the composer's name) since a high school music appreciation class back in the 70s! Thank God for the internet and "close enough" search terms!
