This piece is in A-B-A ternary form. The tonic chord (I) in C major is rhythmically repeated like a fanfare, reminiscent of a march. The dominant chord (V) evokes the sound of trumpets. The second theme enters majestically and resolves to the tonic (I). From measure 7 to 8, it modulates to G major.

 It returns to C major, repeats the second theme, and concludes with a lively, vibrant flourish. The B section begins at measure 13 and modulates to F major.

 The accompaniment proceeds with staccato arpeggios. It develops with great rhythmic vitality. Chords resound majestically, resolving from the dominant to the tonic. After the recapitulation of the second theme from measure 21, the piece concludes from measure 25 with repeated chords of dotted eighth notes.

 From measure 29, it modulates back to C major and recapitulates the theme. The piece is structured like an ensemble for wind and percussion instruments.
