The development section starts with material from the first theme group, giving
the impression that this is perhaps a recapitulation. The first major deviation from the

section visits several keys, the main focus is on the exploitation of rhythm. Very much in
the traditional sense of a development section, Ewazen develops all previous melodic
material and subjects it to the compositional processes of fragmentation, diminution of
rhythm and changing meter
