It is in ternary form.

A [a (measures 1-4) + b (measures 5-8)]

B [c (measures 9-12) + d (measures 13-16)]

A1 [a1 (measures 17-20) + d1 (measures 21-24)]

The main key is G major. In section b, it modulates to the dominant key, D major. Furthermore, in section c, it partially modulates to C major via the main key. From section d, it returns to the main key, leading to a half cadence. Thereafter, from the recapitulation of the theme to the conclusion, it remains in the main key.

 The theme is expressed with accents and staccatos, making it clear and powerful. The left hand frequently employs stepwise motion, conveying a melodic element. Overall, rather than a clear distinction between melody and accompaniment, there are polyphonic elements, though not entirely complete. The motif from measure 13 is developed from measure 21.
