Inspired by this tune, particularly in the first movement Tzigani, the ensemble's arrangement explores both instruments in unconventional ways. The first section is directly derived from the original tune with a clearly distinguishable gypsy melody, idiomatic embellishments and virtuosic cadence-like runs. In the rhythmic section, the marimba plays on the resonators to bring a percussive texture and the cello uses the "chop" technique, which originally comes from fiddle music.
