Inspired by the image of a triumphant knight on the battlefield, this piece in A-B-A form opens with a majestic theme in D major. The contrasting middle section in D minor offers the perfect opportunity to teach parallel minor. With varying textures, this B section builds to an energetic conclusion before a return to the noble D major theme. Victorious Knight has both sustained passages as well as rhythmic playing and the rhythms include sixteenth notes.
