Variations for Wind Quintet is derived entirely from a single seven-beat pattern in four voices. The pattern is subjected to a series of transformations, and these are combined in a variety of canonic relationships. Each variation, some of which last only a few measures, employs a different combination of instruments. In the course of the piece, every combination, from solo to quintet, is heard.
