This piece is in a single-part form.
- a (measures 1-4)
- b (measures 5-8)
- Coda (measures 9-12)
The key is D major. The opening section 'a' begins with a monophonic melody in the left hand. In measure 2, it ascends chromatically to A-sharp, and from measure 3, the melodic line is passed from the left hand to the right hand, ascending. In measure 4, it reaches a half cadence with a progression of IV+6 to a dominant seventh in third inversion.
Section 'b' has a similar structure to section 'a', differing in that the melodic line is in the right hand for the first two measures, and the section concludes with a perfect authentic cadence. It can also be regarded as a response phrase to section 'a'.
The Coda features an ascending melodic figure combining passing tones, which appears twice, but the underlying harmonic progression is a type of plagal cadence. The ending evokes a sense of repose, similar to the conclusion of a hymn.
