This type of
piece is traditionally
formed by a slow movement
and a fas movement joined
together. In this case
the lento is light in
feeling with a degree of
dynamism. Its form is
similar to an arch: the
music begins and ends in
silence.
The
Allegro con brio,
however, is ferocious,
fast and energetic. It
performance it is
important to create an
overall sensation of
agility. The entire
movement is based on a
short two-measure motive
which is developed and
passes from one
instrument to the other
throughout the rest of
the piece.
