Description:
The textures of this piece go from solo flute with string accompaniment to highly concentrated contrapuntal passages with all 5 instruments sharing equally in the music proceedings. The 1st mvt. is built around a motive, used melodically and then in an involved fugal setting. The 2nd is a very fast scherzo with such features as low flute register & violin harmonics. The 3rd is a Serenade and the last is a very energetic allegro with a contrasting middle section, melodic & expressive, before returning to the original fast tempo, which concludes with very rapid shakes in the flute.
