B minor, 4/4 time signature.

It possesses the character of a "Capriccio," written in a relatively free form while employing contrapuntal writing. Broadly speaking, it is divided into three subject exposition sections (measures 1-7, 12-15, 18-22) and interludes (measures 7-12, 16-19). In the subject exposition sections, the subject is presented in various keys, and in the interlude sections, modulations occur through sequential progressions that repeat a fixed melodic figure at different pitches.

At the end of the piece, it is explicitly stated, "Following this are 15 three-part Sinfonias," intending for the learner to proceed to the next step.
