Beginning with a splash of sound, first and second violins create an ascending melodic figure while the lower strings play a strong tremolo. The theme is played in the first violin, surrounded by engaging counterpoint. A rhythmic, somewhat modal accompaniment begins with a key change, and the viola takes the melody. The violin takes back the melody. Returning to the first violin, the melody finishes in a triumphant chord encompasing five octaves.
