The composition, in three movements, is scored for flute, doubling piccolo;oboe, doubling English horn; B-flat clarinet, doubling bass clarinet; bassoon; horn; trumpet; trombone; violin; viola; cello; contrabass; piano; and percussion. The title Sinfonia Concertante is used for its specificality: a symphony of several solo instruments with traits of the classical style. The music is mock-serious and satirical at times, making light of a certain post-1945 musical gravity. The duration of the work is approximately 20 minutes.
