According to Jim Samson (1977), the "central relationship in the work is that between material based on the whole-tone scale, the lydian mode and the diatonic scale, the lydian mode functioning as an effective mediator between the other two." ● Structure   L'isle Joyeuse begins with an atonal, chromatic cadenza.  Play (help·info)   ● Exposition, 1-98 The introduction creates a whole tone context. This changes to an A lydian context which, in bars 15-21, transitions, through the addition of G natural, to the whole tone context of a new motive at bar 21. This A lydian context serves to transition from the whole tone mode on A to the A major context, inflected by occasional lydian D sharps, of the second theme at bar 67.   ● Middle, 99-159 The other transposition of the whole tone scale, avoided in the outer sections, is used and provides further harmonic contrast.   ● Recapitulation, 160-end The second subject appears in pure A major, the "ultimate tonal goal of the piece." The opening codas "louder and more animatedly until the very end". It ends with a loud tremolo, a group of grace notes acending to an A Major chord in the highest registers of the piano, and a quick, final arpeggio, the same arpeggio used to accompany the first use of the second subject, played downwards, hitting the lowest note on the keyboard (A0) markedly.   ● References Samson, Jim (1977).
