E minor, 3/4 time, Vivace, Ternary form.

In the A section, the right-hand melody, which includes non-harmonic tones, and the wide-ranging arpeggios in the left hand serve as technical challenges. The right hand's inverted dotted rhythm, the non-harmonic tones in the inner voices, and the left hand's arpeggios create a humorous, scherzando atmosphere.

The middle section B (from m. 45) shifts dramatically, presenting right-hand arpeggios that include double stops as a challenge. Performing the arpeggios that traverse between low and high registers requires effective upper body weight transfer and right-hand position shifts. In the left hand, a sweet and sustained melody emerges. It gradually becomes tense and passionate (from m. 73), but then regains its tranquility (from m. 80) before returning to A.
