It is scored for 2 oboes, bassoon, 2 horns, strings and continuo, with a solo cello part in the slow movement. It is in three movements:

  1. Allegro, 3
    4
  2. Andante in E-flat major, 2
    4
  3. Allegro or Presto, 6
    8

The slow movement features a solo cello doubled in octaves with muted violins.
