Whirlegigg

Whirlegigg "是中古英語單詞，意為連續旋轉的裝置。中世紀時期的許多發明家都非常癡迷于開發一種不斷轉動並釋放能量的永動機。這個想法與這首樂曲尤為契合。簡單的三元結構為喧鬧和反思的素材提供了充足的機會，迴旋的伴奏人物從未遠離。在接近尾聲時，機器幾乎停了下來，但最終還是爆發出了最後的激情和能量，為作品畫上了句號"

原文簡介:
Whirlegigg is the middle English word for a contraption that continuously spins. A great fascination with many inventors of the medieval period was to develop a perpetual motion machine constantly turning and giving off energy. This idea is particularly apt for this piece. A simple ternary structure gives ample opportunity for both boisterous and reflective material with gyrating accompanimental figures never far away. The machine almost stops near the end, but finally musters one last burst of excitement and energy to bring the work to its close.
