The beautiful melody of Allegro I in F major, B88, emerges after a brief introduction which is masterfully enlivened by exquisite and colourful changes of harmony in the manner of Chopin's Prelude in E minor, Op. 28, No. 4. Its mood gradually alters, becoming more contemplative, then abruptly changing into the main theme of Piruchin in F major, B65, a musical ethos portraying Bottiroli himself. Paired with Allegro I, Allegro II in F major, B88, is the first and shorter version of Payasos ('Clowns') in F major, B89.
