In C major, in ternary form.
- A (measures 1-8)
- B (measures 9-16)
- A (measures 17-24)
The composer, Neefe, is known as Beethoven's first important teacher.
The theme is developed in the opening four measures, and from measure 5, it ascends and descends significantly through arpeggiated lines and stepwise motion, leading to a cadence.
From measure 9, the theme, which began with a sequence, also develops in a developmental manner, first repeating as a sequence while modulating partially to the subdominant (IV) and then to the supertonic (II), before returning to the tonic from measure 13.
While concise, the masterful development of the motif and the structure, which seems to have stripped away anything superfluous, are also observed later in Beethoven's works. This resemblance is deeply moving, reminding us of the master-disciple relationship between the two.
