A Sinfonietta is a “small symphony”, so it is a composition that does not boast the length of a real symphony (although this could be the case) and so allows the composer to take some liberties. In this sinfonietta we have three contradictory themes. In the first part there is a reflecting theme at the start with the woodwinds, later we have a more pathetic theme with the low brass and finally a clear, light theme with the complete band.
