This sunny and tuneful piece manages to combine effective apparent pianistic pyrotechnics whilst keeping it within the range of ability of a keen student.
There is a central dramatic cadenza before the opening theme returns, the movement ending with the same short fanfare.
The second movement begins in G minor in a far more austere style, using pizzicato string notes over which a melody is played in octaves on the piano.
There is a shimmering central section at a faster tempo that moves through various major keys before the opening minor theme is restated, but this time with a forte from the full orchestra.
The final movement starts at breakneck speed, which is only briefly interrupted in the middle by a little march.
