Song: the girl appeares
Girl’s dance

Ball game
The ball falls into the water and the girl sees her reflection
The shadow rises from the water and dances
Comodo
Tempo di Menuetto

Allegro vivace
Three dark figures appear in the backround
The dancing continues, becmen ever faster
The girl collapses exhausted but the shadow dances onwards towards the central dark figure, which covers the shadow…
The song is heard again from afar
