Eugène Bozza made the piece even more accessible in 1984 by arranging it for Wind Quintet. The Little Negro is marked Allegro and begins with a theme modelled on ragtime music a style which was very popular at the time of composition. Jazz influences the C major key signature 2/4 meter and upbeat features make for an exciting and accessible piece for all the ensemble.
