스토리를 그리듯 작곡된 곡이다. 크게 4개의 장면을 선정하고 이에 대응하는 4개의 부분으로 이루어져 있으며, 색소폰의 테크닉을 충분히 활용하면서 각 부분별로 특징적인 사운드를 중심으로 발전된다. 각각의 특징이 되는 사운드는 관조와 해원(解怨)의 심상을 중심으로 테마와 짝지어 배치되며, 이는 대부분 테너 색소폰에 의하여 주도된다. 이 곡은 먼저 색소폰의 솔로처럼 작곡되었으며, 후에 보조적인 색채로서 피아노를 덧붙여졌으나, 두 악기는 각 프레이즈별로 하나의 악기인 것처럼 긴밀하게 연결되어 있다. 각 프레이즈의 쉼표 및 호흡이 분절적으로 이어지도록 작곡되었다.
