It depicts people diligently engaged in haymaking with brightness and cheerfulness. Among the pieces in this collection, it is the most active and sun-drenched, completely devoid of shadows.
The theme in C major (measures 1-6) possesses a sense of dynamism due to its dotted rhythm. The eighth notes on the off-beats in the left hand alternate between the low and high registers, reflecting a light and nimble quality.
From measures 7 to 14, the left hand features syncopation, forming an ostinato. The melody is sung with vibrant energy. From measures 15 to 16, the piece modulates to E-flat major, consisting of chords based on Impressionistic compositional techniques.
From measures 17 to 22, it modulates back to C major. Sixteenth-note arpeggios are added to the inner voices, accompanying the dotted rhythm of the theme, thereby increasing its dynamism. From measure 19, the left hand takes on a counter-melody, expressing joy.
From measures 23 to 24, it modulates again to E-flat major, and from measure 25, it returns to C major, developing rapidly until measure 31.
In the Coda, the theme reappears, non-harmonic tones ascend, the hands move in contrary motion, and the piece concludes brilliantly on a tonic (I) chord.
