Marching and Dancing Two-Voice Textures are playful dance-like grotesque scenes, examples of 'playful polyphony'. Their musical development is distinguished by the prominent themes and bright theatrical dramaturgy. The form of both pieces is tripartite, the outer sections are built on a contrast of energetic themes (roll-calls, confrontation of voices), with jocular episodes appearing in the middle sections, in which a paraphrase of Haydn melodies can be clearly discerned.
