The introduction is an old-fashioned dance like a gigue or courante.

Before flight, a swallow might be excited but struggling with indecision. When he makes up his mind, he soars and then goes up and down. Soprano saxophone plays such a seesaw-like motif. The quintet members deliver the movement repeatedly.

Looking at life from above, we see that people's feelings and events are not unified or monotonous. With a minimal riff background, the duo of baritone and tenor saxophone play contrary motion of the motif. Another sentimental motif by soprano saxophone will provide a reminiscence. Eventually, music covers place and history, and time and two-dimensional axis become fuzzy. In recapitulation, the music elevates and becomes more symphonic, heading to a liberating closure. The Allegro should not decrease.
