The main texture of this piece consists of two complementary melodic lines stated respectively in the bassoon and the first violins. The remaining strings provide an accompaniment which is primarily chordal in nature, interrupted by two episodes—the first imitative and the second dance-like. The soggetto cavato appears at the opening in the bassoon and presents motives developed throughout.
