Piccola Musica is written for string trio and consists of five short movements, independent of each other, apart from the ‘tie-up’ between numbers I and V. The texture is in the main contrapuntal, though less consistentlysothan in Maconchy Quartets, and the mood is more relaxed.
The five ‘piccoli movimenti’ are: I Allegro moderato, II Andante, III Moderato, IV Poco lento, V Allegro moderato- meno mosso-allegro moderato: in its end is itsbeginning.
