The first movement is entitled "Preambule" (Prelude) here the festive mood of the carnival is introduced, followed in the second part by the entrance of "Pierrot" a clown always a popular feature of. any Masque-; rade, he is followed', in the third. movement by "Ardequm"- (Harlequin) he is a clown who does more to captivate the feminine heart. The fourth movement depicts the scene of the carnival in the Hallroom a "Valse Noble" denot-r ing the gay spirit of the dance in the composer's own style.
