The piece consists of three movements, each with its own unique characteristics. The first movement is marked "Allegro con brio" and is characterized by its lively and energetic tempo.

The movement also features a number of rhythmic and harmonic variations, which add to its overall complexity and interest. The second movement is marked "Andante con moto" and is much slower and more contemplative than the first. The movement features a beautiful melody played by the strings, which is then joined by the clarinet and other instruments. The movement is characterized by its use of long, sustained notes and its emphasis on the beauty of the melody. The third and final movement is marked "Allegro vivace" and is the most lively and energetic of the three. The movement features a number of different themes and motifs, which are developed and expanded upon throughout the movement. The movement is characterized by its use of complex rhythms and harmonies, as well as its overall sense of excitement and energy. Overall, 'Air russe variée' is a complex and engaging piece of contemporary classical music. Its use of different themes, motifs, rhythms, and harmonies make it a challenging and rewarding piece for both performers and listeners alike.
