No. 21 in B-flat Major, 3/4 time, Andante

Composed in Moscow when the composer was 23 years old. Although primarily in 3/4 time, it changes to either 3/4, 5/4, or 6/4 time almost every measure. The melody is characterized by ascending figures, and the occasional descending figures seem as if they are meant to store energy for further ascent.
