The second movement was known as 'Grotesque. Simian Stage. ' - it is sardonic and fantastic. The third movement was was inspired by the tales of a close friend about a night-time journey through Javanese villages from which could be heard the distant sound of wooden musical instruments. The finale, originally Land of the Sun. China. was, Bloch said, the most cheerful thing I ever wrote.
