It is in C major and in ternary form.

  • A [a (measures 1-4) + a1 (measures 5-8)]
  • B [b (measures 9-12) + b1 (measures 13-16)]
  • A [a (measures 17-20) + a1 (measures 21-24)]

It is in 3/8 time and features a waltz-like accompaniment pattern. The melodic line contains few non-harmonic tones, being primarily constructed from harmonic tones. Consequently, there is little smooth stepwise motion, but it should be played legato as indicated by the long slurs. From measure 11 of the middle section, it partially modulates to the parallel minor, C minor, then ascends with a chromatic progression, concluding with a half cadence on the dominant. Since section A exhibits few changes in tonality or harmony, the changes in section B should be expressed with careful attention.
