The A-flat (A♭) clarinet is the highest-pitched instrument of the clarinet family still manufactured. It is just over half the length of the common B♭ clarinet and pitched a minor seventh higher, a perfect fourth higher than the E♭ clarinet .
The E-flat (E ♭) clarinet is a member of the clarinet family, smaller than the more common B ♭ clarinet and pitched a perfect fourth higher. It is typically considered the sopranino or piccolo member of the clarinet family and is a transposing instrument in E ♭ with a sounding pitch a minor third higher than written.
The term soprano also applies to the clarinets in A and C, and even the low G clarinet—rare in Western music but popular in the folk music of Turkey—which sounds a whole tone lower than the A. Some writers reserve a separate category of sopranino clarinets for the E ♭ and D clarinets, [ 1 ] while some regarded them as soprano clarinets.

The 1st movement, in E-flat major, begins with an exposition of the main theme by the orchestra. The clarinet soloist enters with a high F (E-flat in terms of concert pitch) followed by a 3 octave jump before repeating the opening theme. This 3 octave jump, along with other large leaps, is stylistic of this movement.
The E-flat major theme is sixteen bars in length. [2] The next section is marked poco più vivo. In some editions, what follows is "Variation I", though it could be argued that the previous section is actually the first variation. In any event, the so-called Variation I presents variations of the theme in triplets.
