Whirlegigg

Whirlegigg "是中古英语单词，意为连续旋转的装置。中世纪时期的许多发明家都非常痴迷于开发一种不断转动并释放能量的永动机。这个想法与这首乐曲尤为契合。简单的三元结构为喧闹和反思的素材提供了充足的机会，回旋的伴奏人物从未远离。在接近尾声时，机器几乎停了下来，但最终还是爆发出了最后的激情和能量，为作品画上了句号"

原文简介:
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.
