This is a dance-like miniature piece, as its title suggests, unfolding to the rapid 6/8 time rhythm of the "tarantella," originating from Italy. Initially, a vibrant theme in D minor is repeated, but it modulates rapidly at a fast tempo. In the middle section (measures 39-48), the mood shifts abruptly to a cheerful major key, yet the rapid eighth notes of the "tarantella" continue in the left hand. The piece then moves into the recapitulation (measures 49-80), where the opening theme appears shifted forward by one weak beat, meaning the theme now begins with an eighth-note anacrusis, arguably adding even more dynamism to the musical character. The recapitulation concludes firmly without significant modulations, and the coda (from measure 81) ends with a majestic cadence.
