Composed in 1789, this work consists of two movements.

The first movement, in C major, is in 3/4 time with the tempo marking Andante con espressione. Although this movement is written in a form closer to variations rather than sonata form, secondary phrases are occasionally inserted. The underlying theme is very simple, but it is diversely ornamented and varied, lending a calm elegance to the movement. It is primarily based on the technique of contrasting major and minor keys through modulation, and in that respect, it resembles Haydn's Variations in F minor.

The second movement, Presto, is in 2/4 time and, as explicitly marked "Rondo," is in rondo form. Like the first movement, it is written in C major. In contrast to the first movement, it is full of lively character, becoming a perpetuum mobile movement. While the rondo theme employs the technique of the left hand accompanying the right-hand melody, the first secondary theme (from m. 13) suggests a dialogue between the left and right hands. There is also a secondary theme in unison for both hands (from m. 64). In the concluding section of this movement, the beginning of the rondo theme is presented first by the right hand, then by the left, bringing the movement to a close.
