The main section features an accompaniment maintaining a steady triple meter rhythm and rapid passages. The C major middle section is characterized by a light yet highly demanding polyphonic right hand, while the accompaniment shifts to a duple meter progression, forming a polyrhythm between the right and left hands. This polyrhythm is carried over into the recapitulation of the main section, concluding the piece with a powerful impression.

Dedicated to Vladimir Deshevov (1889–1955), a fellow student at the Saint Petersburg Conservatory and a composer who would become known for his piano piece Rails (1926) and the opera Ice and Steel (1929).
