Originally inspired by a competition that I subsequently decided not to enter. Eventually it will be paired with a movement called Wane. The title was supposed to be a joke about Caramba wax (the rhythm reminded me of some S.American music) but that seemed overly obscure and since it ends 'big' Wax seems totally appropriate.
