Analysis

Theme A is constructed using church modes. Section 'a' is in the Lydian mode with 'd' as the finalis, while section 'a1' is in the Dorian mode with 'h' (B natural) as the finalis. While section 'a' exhibits the brightness of Lydian, section 'a1' presents the darkness of Dorian. Although these sections are very similar, attention should be paid to such changes.

Section 'b' is in A minor, but it features a Neapolitan II as a sustained chord. Subsequently, the Coda modulates to D minor, concluding with a so-called Neapolitan cadence, moving from the Neapolitan II to the I chord.

As the piece evolves every four measures, it is important to capture and express the changes in brightness and color resulting from the modulations.
