This work responds, in its formal aspect, to the Rondo-Sonata type scheme and from the technical-musical point of view, it is very interesting for the clarinet. Interpretatively, it tests the good musical taste, flexibility and artistic quality of the performer, as its changes of meter, nuances and dynamics favour the development of all these qualities.

In terms of technique, it requires a high degree of preparation on the part of the performer, mastery and agility in the different intervals and arpeggiations that follow one after the other throughout the musical discourse and control of phrasing and articulations. These are the prerequisites for a beautiful, flexible and highly artistic quality performance.

Theme A (which we can call the main theme or refrain) is inspired by the dances of the eighteenth century and, after a brief piano introduction of four bars, is presented, accompanied by a transitional or complementary element, first by the piano and then by the clarinet. This transitional element gives way to a new theme of 16 bars, which we will call Theme I, repeated twice in succession.

Once Theme I has ended, the complementary theme to the main theme reappears, presented exactly as it was the first time, but now leading us to Theme II, based on a piano ostinato in the left hand on the II, V and I degrees of the key of F major, which accompanies an agile and graceful motif in the right hand. The clarinet enters later, playing a variation on this theme.

The main theme appears again together with the complementary theme exactly as at the beginning and also, once again, Theme I. Back to the main theme and then Theme II again. The work concludes with the re-exposition of theme A, now without the complementary theme, which leads us to the final coda.
