C major, 3/4 time. Ternary form – Coda. In the A section, a melody characterized by a dotted rhythm appears in the right hand. The contrast between the short duration of the sixteenth notes and the subsequent longer note values gives impetus to the piece. In the following section, the rhythmic vitality becomes more subdued, and a stepwise melody with a steady rhythmic accompaniment becomes prominent. In the Trio section, the key shifts to the subdominant, F major, and the previously heard dotted rhythm, stepwise melody, and steady rhythmic accompaniment pattern are integrated.
