Somewhat similar to the Romantic Fragment - each of the 4 movements of 'Introspections' is at once a separate entity and part of a complete whole. Each is characterized by a different mood or emotional state. The first begins in a somewhat nostalgic tone, but then turns dramatic. The second is playful and erratic as the two instruments share a single melodic line distributed between the cello's pizzicato and the piano's staccato. The third movement is for solo cello alternating quick figurations and expressive phrases. The last movement is dreamlike ending with the melody floating in the piano's high register.
