It is in ternary form.

  • A [a (measures 1-4) + a1 (measures 5-8)]
  • B [b (measures 9-12) + b1 (measures 13-16)]
  • A1 [a2 (measures 17-20)] (4 measures omitted)

The key is G major. The theme's melody is quoted from Handel's "The Harmonious Blacksmith" (from Harpsichord Suite No. 5 in E major, HWV 430, final movement). While Handel's original piece is a theme and variations, this work is an arrangement of it as a single prelude. Therefore, when performing this work, it would be beneficial to also explore Handel's original piece.
