It is divided into three movements, each of which captures a different aspect of the butterfly's flight. The first movement is marked 'Allegro moderato' and is characterized by its lively and playful melody. The violin and piano play off each other, creating a sense of movement and energy.

The violin and piano play together in a fast and intricate dance, capturing the fluttering and darting movements of a butterfly in flight.
