The harmony changes to a major key when the Elfking sings. Even the piano gets a "role" as the horse, with its galloping figures and rhythmic momentum.
Explanation:
"Elfkin" is a poem written by Johan Wolfgang Von Goethe, that tells the story of a child that is adopted by an "elf king" even though it is not likely a real elf, but more of a fairy. It was arranged for music and sang according to many different compositions. It was developed under a very high-level narration that presents all the event,s characters, and these have helped the compositors to arrange it in very flexible and different compositions.
