3/4 time signature, E minor, Moderato. Rondo form.

At the opening, a German augmented sixth chord appears mysteriously with a fermata.

From measure 19 onwards, the piece modulates to G major, its relative major, and the melody, now in the left-hand inner voice, sings expressively.

From measure 49, the melody, modulated to E major, its parallel major, appears with a lively rhythm and marked Vivace.

After the initial theme reappears, sung majestically with double stops including octaves, the piece gradually settles towards its conclusion.

The final four measures become Lento, and the piece concludes divinely with a Picardy third accompanied by sforzando.
