The piece is in A major and structured as a theme and variations.

Theme

  • a (measures 1-8) + b (measures 9-16)

Variation

  • a1 (measures 17-24) + b1 (measures 25-32)

Coda

  • (measures 33-36)

The theme commences forte, characterized by a heroic and dignified atmosphere, incorporating arpeggiated lines and perfect fifth intervals. Its structure, featuring a half cadence at the conclusion of section 'a' and a full cadence at the conclusion of section 'b', imparts an overall sense of vigor. Although the variation commences at measure 17, its predominant use of eighth notes conveys a more animated character. The theme is recapitulated in the coda, leading to the work's conclusion.
