Movements/SectionsMov'ts/Sec's	12 songs Ty hvězdičky tam na nebi/The stars that twinkle in the sky. Andante Mně zdálo se žes umřela/I dreamed that you were dead. Andante con moto Já jsem ten rytíř z pohádky/I am that fairy-tale knight. Allegro Když Bůh byl nejvíc rozkochán/When God was in a happy mood. Andante Umlklo stromů šumění/The soughing of the trees has ceased. Moderato Přilítlo jaro z daleka/The spring came flying from afar. Allegro Když jsem se díval do nebe/When I was looking to the sky. Allegro Vy malí, drobní ptáčkové/You little, tiny birds. Allegretto Jsem jako lípa košatá/I am like a lavish linden tree. Allegretto con grazia Vy všichni, kdo jste stísněni/All ye who are oppressed. Andante Ten ptáček, ten se nazpívá/A bird sings many a song. Allegro scherzando Tak jak ten měsíc v nebes báň/Like the moon dwells in heaven.
