Wikipedia divides the finale here into two movements: "Dialogue « cor de postillon » sur un poème du compositeur:

l'ancien n'est pas bon pour la simple raison qu'il appartient au passé / le nouveau n'est pas d'avantage excellent parce que nous marchons avec lui / et personne n'a jamais éprouvé plus de bonheur / que ce qu'il était en mesure d'assumer et de comprendre /il t'appartient à toi, au delà de la hâte, du bruit et de la multitude / de retrouver et de préserver à nouveau / ce qui est permanent, le silence, le sens, la structure...

Finale"

(an unspecified finale preceded by a Dialogue. Hindemith's Horn Concerto also contains a movement with text, very occasionally - as for example on the cpo recording of the concerto - recited aloud during the work rather than e.g. read, and noted, silently for performer and audience guidance.) - Schissel
