D minor, 3/8 time.

The piece is constructed by constantly repeating the theme presented by the upper voice in the opening two measures throughout the entire piece. In this sixteenth-note theme, the diminished seventh leap placed in the second measure creates a severe character.

The sixteenth-note theme continues uninterrupted, but the points where it breaks form cadences, corresponding to structural divisions of the piece (measures 17, 37, 48, 51). This theme appears in various transformed shapes, such as being repeated as a sequence (in the upper voice from measure 5, in the lower voice from measure 11) or used in inversion (measures 22-25).
