Class: Original Piano Solo

Published: 1934.

Comment: Though this was written after the 'Four Aces' Suite, it obviously belongs with it, not least because it contains quotes from the earlier numbers. The style is drier and harmonically more abrasive, but just as enjoyable, and it makes a fitting coda to the rest of the suite.
