	This selection is typical of the extended writing techniques of Bartk.   Typical of the period, the themes are fragmented and presented in an ever changing meter.  It is common for Bartk to change the meter signature as often as every other measure.  Notice how difficult it is to establish a steady beat as you listen; as the music shifts meter the pulse is destroyed.
	As the title suggests, the instruments in this movement are presented in pairs; there are 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 trumpets, 2 trombones, and even 2 harps.  The other instruments will be in the traditional sectional groupings.
