Andante, F major, 3/4 time.

The piece takes an ABA' ternary form. The A section itself is also divided into three parts, with a modulating central section framed by an 8-bar theme. The B section (mm. 26-51) opens in a contrasting, forte D minor. The B section is dominated by the sixteenth-note rhythm that characterized the central part of the A section.

When the main section returns at m. 52, the melody appears varied. Here, the melody is ornamented by the sixteenth-note rhythm that characterized the middle sections (both the central part of the A section and the middle section of the entire piece), achieving a kind of integration between the opening melody and the middle section.
