I had a tough time getting my ideas for the 3rd movement down on paper. I knew exactly what I wanted to do, and pretty much how I had to do it, but sitting down transferring it from my mind was a bit of a challenge. I wanted to create a character that began with a feeling of total destruction and havoc and then give the piece a very baron and lifeless atmosphere. I wanted to have the piano mostly picking and swiping the strings with fingers on the strings to give it a ghostly and haunting feeling and have the trombone always play into the piano to give it a resonating and echoy sound. The two instruments are meant to be soloists and have their own roles, being "lost and wandering".
