This is an arrangement of "General Lavine Eccentric" from the second book of Preludes for Piano. It is written in a humorous style and depicts the American clown Edward Lavine, who appeared in the Marigny Theatre in Paris in 1910. This music reflects the character depicted, but also the pathos of the clown is conveyed through the varying musical styles and rhythmic contrasts.
