Referential - When first hearing this theme I recognized it immediately. Its a classic tune that has been used in many places. I remember distinctly hearing it in a Disney Mickey Mouse movie as a kid. Specifically: Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers

Critical - The composer returns to the very first variation of the theme that we heard. The repeated theme is played precisely the same as the first variation showing technical perfection. In this variation the final note keeping the variety while also having the element of unity

Perceptive - At this point the tempo of the composition shows clear accelerando. There is also crescendo within the volume of the piece. With this change of pace and dynamic the tension begins to build with increasing intensity. The mood is exciting and leaves the listener apprehensive as to what may come next. It is clear that in this point of the play a climax point is on the horizon

Referential - As mentioned in the prompt Peer Gynt is constantly getting in and out of trouble. This increase in tempo and volume clearly represents another adventure where he finds himself in another high stakes situation.
