Work introduction
This work is build in two sections, the first, a more reflective one, the latter, a purely instrumental Scherzo with intricate rhythms and a rushing finale. It demands a high technical level of each player along with solid ensemble skills, though leaving to everybody, listeners and players, the time to enjoy the virtuosity of the music.
