The work establishes an even dialogue between the two protagonists, giving rise to a very light pianistic discourse. The sonata is in one movement, in the form of an arc, with a return to the beginning. The central part is a virtuoso piece for the flute, with nervous sputterings and impressions of counterpoint for two voices, which recall a preliminary draft for violin and piano. In the score, a line by Dante prolongs the impressionof the last bars with a diamond-like purity: Quanto grazia e dolcezza si vede il loro. He allows the resonance to die down in an atrosphere of perfect serentiy.")
