This movement, known simply as "Andantino" in its symphonic form, began life as "Geisterreigen" ("Dance of the Spirits")--one of the Four Romantic Piano Pieces. It carries forth the pathos of the Sonatine in E Minor of the same series, but here there is less turbulence and more somber dignity. Structurally, the piece might be described as a scherzo with double trio.
