The first movement has two basic tempos with various fluctuations. The second movement begins with a violin solo, joined by the cello to form a double cadenza. The clarinet and piano gradually make their presence known: the clarinet taking the soloistic role of the violin and cello as they recede into the background, and the piano playing slow music, but eventually becoming quite an active participant. All instruments take the active music of the piano and throw it around in hocket fashion. The violin introduces material rhythmically reminiscent of the second movement's opening material and has a playful duet with the cello, while the clarinet and piano have slow music, all of which leads to the final brief section which offers fragments from the various parts of the movements.
