The Preludio Sinfonico is a single-movement work, structured in a free, rondo-like form. The piece begins with a lyrical theme introduced by the strings, accompanied by a subtle, pulsing rhythm in the woodwinds. The composition progresses through various sections, each featuring different instrumental groups and motifs. The development section showcases Puccini's skillful use of counterpoint and harmonic modulation.
