The concerto has five movements played without pause. The beginning Tempestoso is dramatic and powerful, but there is also a beautiful, slow middle section. The second movement consists of a virtuosic solo cadenza, which is dominated by mysterious tremolos on the clarinet.The cadenza leads to Vivace, con brio, which is the central climax of the concerto and the most virtuosic movement both for the orchestra and the soloist. Then follows the slow, melancholic and lyrical fourth movement Adagio, mesto. The Epilogue is slow, too; the atmosphere of the last movement is unreal, mysterious. The solo part at the end consists largely of broken, multiphonic clarinet sounds before the concerto fades out into a silence.

Das 1781/82 in Paris entstandene Konzert dürfte durch die Kunst des Klarinettenvirtuosen Michel Yost inspiriert worden sein. Gesangliches wechselt mit virtuosen Passagen; der Tonumfang der Klarinette der Zeit wird voll ausgeschöpft.
