Fourth in a series of "Idiosyncratic Tone-Pieces" for concert organ (the instrument ideally of the "French Symphonic" variety). A highly virtuosic and explosively dissonant musical "portrait" of the hurdy-gurdy (with its characteristic drone) follows the aetherial "Engelschor" and mellow "Wasserkreise im Herbst". Despite its brief duration, numerous motivic and harmonic ideas saturate this entry into the cycle, and not without some variation and development. The painting in the video is "Vesuvius from Portici" by Joseph Wright of Derby.
