The Partita is cast in three movements. The first derives its impetus from the soloist's opening gambit and the orchestral ritornello heard soon after. Their frequent reappearances enshrine a dorian tonality and embody a structure not unlike a rondo.The Arioso is for solo violin with support from the string orchestra in the main, an extended cantilena redolent of warm memories. Finally, in the rhythm of a jig, various of the concertante elements re-emerge. Woodwind and horns in the middle section and more especially the violin become increasingly prominent until near the end a cadenza for the soloist ponders fragments in retrospect before a final flourish.
