 About the Work: 

I. This movement begins with a chordal figuration with lilting rhythms, over which the clarinet sings, which alternates with fast articulated runs, forming their own interesting melodic lines. 

II. The clarinet sings a solemn chant, influenced by plainchant aesthetics, which transforms into quasi-birdsong figurations. 

III. A contrast of staccato and sustained articulations gradually become a fast, playful toccata.
