E-flat major, 4/4 time.

This piece is written in a fugal style and consists of three subject expositions.

At the very beginning, the upper voice presents a four-measure subject, followed by the lower voice responding in the dominant key in the subsequent four measures (First Exposition). After an intervening three-measure interlude, which consists of a sequential progression of the opening motive, the subject is presented from measure 12 in C minor and F minor (Second Exposition). Following another three-measure interlude and a presentation (in the subdominant) and response (in the tonic) of only the opening motive of the subject, the subject returns in the tonic from measure 27 (Third Exposition), concluding the piece.
