''The music of the Concerto flows smoothly and in an unaffected manner typical of the ''real'' eighteenth-century classical concertos. Thus there is no usual disparity between the ''pattern'' and its neoclassical ''interpretation''. In fact, what matters here is not ''interpretation'' or ''distortion'', but a complete integration of the traditional model with the composer's own stylistical idiom. The composition follows the pattern of the classical concerto with its three-movement form and its dramatic progress typical of the genre (...). The ''classical'' orchestra conducting a subtle dialogue with the solo instrument adds a transparent quality to the orchestration, although there are also some passages of richer sonority in the Concerto. [M. Gąsiorowska, op. cit.]
