The lst movement is mostly a solo for lst flute, supported by an ostinato “pyramid” by the other flutes. The 2nd movement is an Allegro with rushing l6th notes evenly distributed among all the flutes. The 3rd movement, Lento misterioso uses soft trills supporting the lst flute solos and later, higher trills over the alto flute. The last, Allegro scherzando, uses fast figurations in all the flutes and a flourish of l6th notes to the end. It is scored for 4 C flutes and alto flute.
