It is in ternary form.
Introduction (measures 1-4) + a (measures 5-12) + b (measures 13-20) + a (measures 21-28) + Coda (measures 29-32)
The Introduction is composed of two contrasting motifs: Motif 1 (measures 1-2), consisting of three staccato perfect fifths (open fifths) as quarter notes, and Motif 2 (measures 3-4), composed of single quarter notes in legato stepwise motion. These two motifs possess contrasting characteristics.
The a and b sections can be understood as developments of these respective motifs from the Introduction.
The a section inherits the characteristics of Motif 2, presenting a smooth, light, and gentle passage with little change in register. In contrast, the b section develops the staccato quarter-note motif inherited from Motif 2, becoming more active and dramatic in expression, for instance, by crescendoing from p (piano) to f (forte).
By expressing these structural elements and changes in character between sections, a more distinct and nuanced performance can be achieved.
