The composition is a tribute to the inebriation of the Dionysian world, to the overwhelming dances, to the sensuality and playfulness of the soul. Here and there a delicate Apollonian component emerges, revealing the other side already materially present in the instrumentation (the solid, powerful and telluric timbre of the saxophone contrasts by nature with the more transparent and ethereal one of the flute). But even in the territories of Apollo the atmosphere is always subtly shaken by Dionysus, until the former finally surrenders to the propulsive force of the latter: in the finale the most delicate melodic phrase of the piece, intoned by the flute in the first part, is resumed powerfully by the piano, accompanied by low clusters and surrounded and swallowed up by the frenetic movements of the other instruments. Wild instinct prevailed over reason. The Dionysian dance ends up dissolving in a musical ambience never explored before in the piece: harp sounds, gusts of wind and vibrating harmonics in the distance, a virgin and peaceful atmosphere that evokes a lost world.
