Commissioned by the NTT East Tokyo Wind Ensemble and premiered at the 26th All Japan Ensemble Contest. It has an unusual combination of 2 trumpets, 1 horn, 3 trombones and timpani. As the title suggests, the song consists of a slow introduction (Introduzione) and an elaborate main part (Allegro con bravura). Please contrast the character of each part, such as Intro, the first theme starting with Fugetta, and the second theme drawn from the introductory motif.
