E major, 3/4 time, ternary form. Although in 3/4 time, the left hand of the piano part plays in 6/8 time, giving the impression that a long 3-beat cycle and a short 3-beat cycle run in parallel. Initially, the piece adopts a clear structure where the piano plays the main melody, followed by the orchestra. However, in the middle section, the form becomes somewhat less defined, with an increase in improvisatory passages for the piano and a more unstable tonality. In the recapitulation, the cor anglais takes over the main melody, while the piano continues to play beautiful embellishments.
