F major, Un poco moderato

While generally adopting the form of a rondo, a certain degree of freedom is permitted in the treatment of each section. The sound of augmented triads is particularly prominent, which blurs the nature of F major as the tonic key.

The recurring main section gradually becomes more pianistic as the number of notes in the arpeggiated chords increases with each repetition.

While undergoing subtle modulations, the middle section stabilizes in G-sharp minor, where a long, sustained melody, reminiscent of a chorus, emerges, accompanied by motifs from the main section.

In the concluding section, the music arrives at A major, gradually slowing its tempo with a descending left-hand accompaniment, and closes as if immersed in a sense of relief.
