The work is divided into three movements and is scored for flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, and horn. The first movement, marked "Allegro," is a lively and energetic piece that features a playful interplay between the different instruments. The movement begins with a lively theme played by the flute and oboe, which is then taken up by the clarinet and bassoon. The horn then enters with a contrasting theme, which is developed throughout the movement. The second movement, marked "Andante," is a slower and more contemplative piece. The movement begins with a mournful theme played by the oboe, which is then taken up by the other instruments. The movement features a number of solos, including a beautiful clarinet solo and a haunting bassoon solo. The final movement, marked "Allegro," is a lively and energetic piece that brings the work to a rousing conclusion. The movement features a number of playful themes and motifs, which are developed throughout the movement. The work ends with a lively coda that brings the piece to a thrilling close. Overall, "Muzikanti, JW 5/2/50" is a charming and delightful work that showcases Janácek's skill as a composer. The piece is characterized by its lively rhythms, playful melodies, and beautiful solos, and is a testament to Janácek's ability to write for chamber ensembles.
