Broadly, it is divided into three parts:

  • Measures 1-4
  • Measures 5-8
  • Measures 9-12

Measures 13-16 are considered identical to Measures 5-8.

The performer is free to imbue these three sections with distinct characters and moods, creating contrast. For reference, the author's interpretation is provided below.

Measures 1-4

This section is conceived as a majestic prelude, akin to an orchestral tutti, resonating grandly. It is possible that Measures 1-4 might be the loudest in terms of dynamics.

Measures 5-8

An elegant dance commences here, to be performed lightly, gracefully, and around mp.

Measures 9-12

This section introduces a variation in the dance. As the number of notes in the accompaniment increases, the tension is considered to rise compared to Measures 5-8, suggesting a dynamic level such as mf.

Measures 13-16

The piece concludes with a return to the elegant dance of Measures 5-8.

This is merely one example; performers are encouraged to envision these three phrases according to their own interpretations.
