This work is a concerto ripieno (full concerto) with no featured soloists. The opening Allegro begins deliberately and intently over a steadily walking bass line. The opening motif moves with a notable syncopated strut, and some of the sequential passages feature some intriguing chromatic progressions. There are two very independent violin parts that often imitate each other.

The subsequent Adagio features a walking line in the bass under sustained tones in the upper strings, and the concluding Allegro maintains a pleasantly serious tone as it moves through a bustling fugato that features some rushing scalar figures and melodic sequences along its way.
