Musician's or Publisher's Notes
(Transcription for two pianos by the composer) Drifting clouds part and allow hazy glimpses of waltzing couples. They gradually dissipate, and we can distinguish an immense ballroom filled with a whirling crowd. The scene continues to clear. The glow of the chandeliers shines to a full splendor.
