The introduction of Delanoff's harlequinade has an impressionistic touch, followed by a free variation of the „Sérénade“. The burlesque which then follows has been inspired by the association of a funny harlequin and the composer's joy in his work , whereas the succeeding Andante once again imitates the original's style. Davidoff finishes off his composition with a majestic finale which conjures up the soul of the Russian School.
