The basreliefs stand out boldly representing the whole progress of the procession, the chariots, the horses, and the armed youths, then the old men bearing olive branches and the young girls carrying baskets on their heads.

The prevailing tone of the second is much quieter, but it reveals a wonderful depth of earnest feeling. The scherzo is a very taking movement, an odd and pleasing effect being gained by the interruption of the rythm by syncopation. The finale is jovial in character, somewhat after the style of the finale of Beethoven's seventh...
