The first movement, Allegro, is in a fast tempo and features a lively and energetic melody. The two recorders play in harmony, with each instrument taking turns to showcase their virtuosity. The second movement, Largo, is a slow and expressive piece that highlights the recorders' ability to create a beautiful and melancholic sound.
