Delineations is a free variation form, based on the opening seven bar theme. However, it is not bound to a rigid framework as many variation forms of the past have been. Some of the variations develop only a single motive of the original theme. The theme, eight variations, and coda flow together without pause and are arranged so as to fall into a five part pattern: fast-slow-fast-slow-fast.
The opening section (theme, variations I & II) is in a rhythmic, driving, almost perpetual motion style which makes extensive use of the three note staccato figure which begins the theme.
The second large division (variations Ill & IV) is slow and lyrical. The writing here is very linear and flowing, and the mood is calm and serene.
The central section (variations V & VI) brings a sudden contrast with much staccato tonguing in a nervous and sporadic manner. Once again, the three note motive plays the dominant role. A second slow section (variation VII) employs mutes and is concerned mainly with color effects. The final section (variation VIII & coda) is a fast moving fugato.
