Instrumentation
Played by a chamber orchestra made up of strings, woodwind and horns

The strings are busy most of the time and plays a variety of things such as the melody, running scales, sustained notes and chords

There are two horns in different keys which maximizes the number of notes.

Woodwind instruments have more sustained notes and not as many quick runs. They share the start of the second subject with the strings.
Dynamics
- In the exposition the first subject is quiet (apart from a short passage in the middle).
- The second subject begins quietly and gets louder towards the end.
- In the development there is a loud section in the middle but it starts and ends quickly.
- The recapitulation has similar dynamics to the exposition.
- Most dynamics occur suddenly and there are only a few crescendos and no diminuendos.
Texture
- Mostly homophonic.
- Use of imitation and octave doubling (different parts playing the same thing but in a higher range).
- Dialogue between woodwind and strings.
Rhythm, Metre and Tempo
- 4/4 throughout.
- Molto Allegro tempo (very fast).
- Simple rhythms and occasional use of dotted rhythms and syncopation to create momentum and add interest.
Harmony
- Diatonic and functional harmonies.
- Based around standard major and minor chords with examples of chromatic chords.
- A circle of fifths progression as heard in the second subject.
- Pedal notes which are heard in the alto part before the second subject begins.
Melody
- Balanced phrases (4 or 8 bars) that sound like questions and answers.
- Many phrases are scalic (made up of scales).
