It is in C major and in ternary form.

  • A [a (measures 1-8) + a (measures 9-16)]
  • B [b (measures 17-24) + c (measures 25-32)]
  • A1 [a (measures 33-40) + Coda (measures 41-46)]

In section A, the melody is played by the left hand, while conversely, in section B, it is played by the right hand. The theme of A, played by the left hand, extends smoothly beyond an octave from C, utilizing a wide range and conveying a sense of expansive movement. In contrast, in section B, the melody shows no large movements and tends to have more repetitive figures. By expressing these contrasting movements, the aim is to achieve a performance with clear articulation and contrast. In sub-section c, secondary dominant chords are used, creating the most harmonically beautiful progression in the entire piece.
