Symphony no. 3, Mvt. 3 Scherzo (Variations on a Keim-Motiv)

The main theme (a classic Keim-Motiv)  is so familiar and friendly, but what I really liked was how much I could do with from precisely that motivic perspective. Composers like Beethoven (and Bernard Herrmann, for that matter) were masters at taking small musical statements and doing all kinds of wonderful, implosive/explosive, expansive/compressed things with them; the Keim-Motiv itself providing a distinction-engendering glue to the sound of the piece overall.
