Quintetto d'ottoni

In this work parallel chords, i.e. one of the most significant technical ordering devices of the composer come into full display. The part of the 2nd trumpet starts, for example, with consecutive fourths and a similar arrangements can be encountered in the ensemble of the three other instruments as well. Later on thirds step into the role of fourths. Following the homophonic motion there is a music texture with solo accompaniment. The novelty coming in with the final movement is the effect produced by alternating bars.
