Elegance and balance are the distinctive features of the composition: extreme clarity of the melodic lines, crystalline timbral mixtures, solid tonal structure, barely rippling from the minor tone, phrases and periods marked by a regular architecture and by sound planes of orderly alternation of solos and tuttis . The succession of movements follows the classic forms in vogue. The two transverse flutes dialogue with “simple” naturalness to which the strings act as a splendid backdrop.
