Work introduction
Four-movement work that is both neo-classical in style and form. The movements are: Evening Air, Scherzo, Soliloquy, Capriccio Finale. Each instrument in the quintet is allowed to shine, including solo work in the Soliloquy movement. The final movement is in sonata-allegro form, with statements of themes from previous movements scattered throughout, making the work cyclical in nature.
