Vif (Lively) Dotted half note = 100. A three-part form: A (measures 1-16), B (measures 17-44), A' (measures 45-60).

A piece with a lively and humorous atmosphere. Focusing on the bass progression, measures 1-2 feature an augmented fourth interval (C# to G), but in measures 3-4, this changes to a perfect fifth interval (C to G). Because these alternations are repeated, the piece can evoke a playful expression while still maintaining a sense of C major tonality. That is, if one considers four measures as a single context, one can naturally approach the Vif tempo.
