Of Horowitz's many transcriptions, the "Carmen Variations" was the only work to remain in his repertoire throughout his career.

These contrasts between the cello and piano successfully create the mood of the "Tempo di minuetto". After Scherzo, a contrasting section, Trio, appears. It is in E-flat major and is more lyrical than Scherzo.
