Introduzione Andante espressivo - Allegro 00:00-7:46
Presto-Intermezzo-Presto 7:47-11:07
Adagio 11:08-16:58
Presto 17:03-END
The first movement opens with the players entering one by one, and the music is slow, longing, and melancholic. Tension builds to a peak and finally releases into a much warmer, more energetic main section. The second and third movements are starkly contrasting: the second is spiky and swaggering while the third is slow and beautifully lyric. The final movement is marked Presto, which in this case propels each full bar of music to go by in under a second. Furiously energetic, the music stops for a brief moment of transformational calm near the end, before charging ahead to the finish.
