YouTube - Bortkiewicz Marionetten Op. 54 #7: Der Chinese

I’m mildly musically offended by Bortkiewicz’s Marionetten Op. 54 #7, Der Chineser (~“The Chinese Man”), on two counts:

1. Whole-tone scales suggest many things, none of them Chinese

2. This one really evokes a marionette, which leaves me newly disappointed in the others; hmph
