Extra Information An original piece by Copland, inspired by his youth orchestra's piece. He was in an orchestra in Pasedina California and was inspired by the first variation in his favorite piece from the concert they performed after rehearsing during the week. He began to write this piece a couple days before he left, and finished it immediately when he got back from his experience. Copland considers this the first listenable piece he's made despite him disliking variations 4 and 7.
