A [a (measures 1-8) + a1 (measures 9-16)]

B [b (measures 17-20) + b1 (measures 21-24) + c (measures 25-28) + b1 (measures 29-32)]

The piece is in ternary form, as there is a Da Capo al Fine instruction at measure 32, leading back to the beginning and concluding at the Fine at measure 16. Although section B could also be understood as an 8-measure unit, similar to section A, and thus as a two-part structure like b (measures 17-24) + c (measures 25-32), the structure was intentionally analyzed in 4-measure units, differing from section A, because theme b is recapitulated from measure 29.

The main key is A major. The middle section modulates to D major, the subdominant key. Overall, the piece has a bright, bouncy, and joyful atmosphere. In the middle section B, there are powerful chordal sounds marked double forte, evoking a vibrant scene of farmers dancing.
