As an aid to understanding this piece it helps to remember that what is happening is that a genius of the twentieth century with a great sense of humour is amusing himself at the expense of geniuses of the eighteenth century.
Think of it as a baroque symphony composed by Prokofiev masquerading as Jim Carrey or Robin Williams, but, thankfully unable to overindulge himself in some truly sublime passages.
It's excesses make perfect comical sense when seen from the proper perspective.

God. Why are comments on this page so pretentious? What ever happened to just saying, "This is good music."?

The flute part is probably one of the most difficult orchestral parts for flute...

Claudio Abbado, the best !

I don't think you've allowed yourself to take the time to explore classical music.
Take the time to listen to something that's more than 3 and a half minutes long and that isn't simply verse chorus verse chorus...
Listen to a composer's genius and most intimate disclosures of emotion.
