The third movement of his violin concerto begins with timpani playing a "short, short, LONG" rhythm against strings playing a "LONG, short, short" rhythm. A scherzo marked "Vivacissimo" continues without pause into the finale of this composer's Symphony No. 2 in D major, written two years before his D minor violin concerto.
