1. I. Introduction Moderato energico A fierce and mechanical piece characterized by seventh intervals.
2. II. Song without Words Lento cantabile A binary form piece harboring intense emotions beneath a heavy mood.
3. III. Scherzando Rondo Allegro e molto ritmico A motoric rondo form.

The work possesses an overall heavy and dark atmosphere due to the extensive use of chromaticism. One cannot help but consider its connection to the historical context of wartime.
