The piece is in C major and binary form.

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

B [b (measures 17-24) + a2 (measures 25-32)]

It commences with an 8-measure theme featuring a motif that ascends chromatically a third from its initial note. The overall character is bright, devoid of any somberness. It truly evokes a serene pastoral landscape. In the first half of section B, the melody transitions to the left hand. This melody expansively ascends along a tonic arpeggiated line, followed by a characteristic V-shaped ascending and descending figure that incorporates two neighbor tones. From measure 25, the theme of section a is recapitulated, leading to the conclusion.
