Edward Greenfield writes '. . .chamber music writ large, often abrasive in an almost Stravinskian way. . .the emotional weight is borne by the central slow movement. . . The finale is a brisk march, interrupted at one point by horn fanfares, in which the second of the two trios hauntingly brings scrunching cluster-chords pianissimo.
