The main key is G major, and the form is binary.

A[||:a(measures 1-8):||: +b(measures 9-16)+a(measures 17-24):||]

B[c(measures 25-32)+c(measures 33-48)+a(measures 49-57)]

The motif, ascending from an eighth-note anacrusis to an eighth note on the downbeat, vividly evokes the image of butterflies fluttering, as suggested by the work's title. Overall, considering this evocative imagery and the composition's tendency towards the higher register, it is desirable to express it lightly, reminiscent of Gurlitt's 'Schmetterling' (Butterfly).
