 Thanks to music appreciation classes in schools, this piece is widely familiar even to those outside of classical music circles. Unfortunately, Lubock, who organized the premiere evening and played the cello at the premiere, does not seem to have been a particularly capable cellist. Nevertheless, it can be assumed that this beautiful piece was placed just before the finale to honor him as the organizer of the event. It also functions as a palate cleanser and a refreshing interlude after the preceding black humor, and the composition of the piece is skillfully crafted.
