This piece is in a single-part form.

It consists of a theme presentation (a) from measures 1-4, followed by a concluding section (b) from measure 5.

The harmonic cadence of the theme (measures 1-4) progresses with a chord change in each measure: Tonic → Dominant → Dominant → Tonic, forming a single harmonic cadence up to measure 4. Therefore, it is advisable to perform measures 1-4 as a continuous flow, without pausing or losing momentum at measure 2.

As the piece is largely composed of single notes, it can be challenging to perceive the underlying harmony. Thus, instead of solely focusing on connecting the visible notes with legato throughout practice, it would be beneficial for the instructor to play the harmonies as an accompaniment during lessons, enabling the student to feel the harmonic progression.
