This piece is in one-part form: a (measures 1-8) + b (measures 9-16).

The b section serves as a conclusion to the a section, and is not a separate, independent section. It is considered a one-part form because the entire piece, from the thematic presentation in 'a' to the conclusion in 'b', is perceived as a single continuous flow.

The key is C major. The melodic lines primarily consist of stepwise motion (moving to an adjacent note) with single notes, played by both hands. This is an educational piece intended for beginning students.

In the opening two measures, the right hand moves upward while the left hand moves downward, demonstrating independent motion. In measure 6, a single melodic figure is passed from the right hand to the left hand mid-phrase. Thus, it can be understood as an etude designed to help students play with continuous sound and control in each hand's independent movements.
