This is a gavotte primarily in two voices. As it is also in a canonic style, its structure allows for the effective introduction of a different voice after the repetition.

The keys are as follows:

  • Measures 1-4: E-flat major
  • Measures 5-8: B-flat major
  • Measures 9-12: C minor
  • Measures 13-16: C minor
  • Measures 17-20: Sequence
  • Measures 21-22: E-flat major

The B appearing in measure 13 is the highest note in the piece, and its note value is also long; therefore, this point can be considered the peak point.
