The eight movements of 'Episodes' are as follows: 1. Allegro con brio 2. Andante 3. Vivace 4. Largo 5. Allegro moderato 6. Allegretto 7. Andante con moto 8. Allegro con fuoco Each movement of 'Episodes' showcases Reger's mastery of counterpoint and his ability to create complex textures and harmonies.

The sixth movement, 'Allegretto,' is a light and playful piece that features a simple melody and a sense of joy. The seventh movement, 'Andante con moto,' is a more introspective piece that features a beautiful melody and rich harmonies. The final movement, 'Allegro con fuoco,' is a fiery and energetic piece that features rapid runs and arpeggios.
