The rhythmic ingenuity in this work is noteworthy. In the first half, the bass continuously marks a dotted quarter note rhythm, so when this rhythm is interrupted from measure 18 and two voices alternate in sixteenth-note runs, their liveliness becomes even more pronounced. The most anomalous section in the work is likely measures 31-34 in the latter half. While this section shows a correspondence with measures 12-15 in the first half, in the latter half, the bass rhythm lacks consistency, and combined with deviations from the basic meter, chromatic progressions, and dissonances created by suspensions, an extremely high level of tension is generated.
