This Passepied is in A major throughout, with no modulations. The piece has an optimistic and lighthearted mood, so a tempo that is not too slow is recommended.

The piece is divided into two halves. When comparing measures 5-8 with measures 14-17, the rhythm and melodic contour are very similar. In each four-measure phrase, the music ascends towards the third measure, which serves as a peak point, and then descends in the fourth measure.

In the latter four-measure phrase, the third measure (m. 16) reaches the highest note of the piece, A. This means that in both the first and second halves, the final four-measure phrase contains the peak point.

The mood also changes depending on the articulation and how the trills are played. While some dynamic variation should be applied due to the peak points, fundamentally, this piece should not convey a sense of pressure to the listener. A relatively narrow dynamic range might better convey its lightness and elegance.
