The piece is in G major and binary form.

a (measures 1-8) + b (measures 9-16)

The theme is in measures 1-4. The sound of the diatonic triads is beautiful. As the third beat of measure 3 and the first beat of measure 4 are appoggiaturas, it is desirable to utilize the characteristic tension of these non-harmonic tones in the performance. In the latter half, measures 5-8, it modulates to the dominant key, D major. From measure 9, it descends in sequences every two measures. Within the brightness of the tonic key, a shadow of chromatic chords can occasionally be felt.
