The title Susurra (Latin for "whispers") sets the stage for a collection of short vignettes, each meticulously exploring a different facet of the clarinet’s expressive personality.

The first movement, Murmuro ("murmur"), is built on a foundation of hushed, spinning gestures. Repeated figures return in constantly shifting rhythmic guises—a technique that becomes increasingly exaggerated in the middle section, where the unstable patterns lend the music an almost "drunken," off-kilter momentum.

Following this restlessness, Cantico ("hymn" or "song") offers a delicate, lyrical respite. This central movement provides a moment of stillness between the rhythmically intricate outer sections, showcasing the clarinet’s cantabile (singing) qualities. The suite concludes with Divertimento, a quirky and effusive scherzo. This finale is the work’s most outwardly dance-like movement, full of spirited energy that builds toward a brilliant, driving coda.
