Wild Asses (quick animals)

Wild Asses are wild horses which gallop in the steppes of Asia.

The image that the piece proposes is the phrenetic race of these animals; the very fast time characterizes this part of bravura of the two pianos.

After having run on all the keyboard with nimble arpeggios and scales the horses stop almost suddenly, with some short  chords.
