| Description: |
Variant on Leslie's theme, using only the oscillating motive, which is used sequentially, then repeated over chromatically descending triads (here associated with walking); Steiner specifically chose to not mickey-mouse the walking here with his note in the score: "but not too rhythmic (I don't want to 'Mickey Mouse' this)" |
