In G major, in binary form.

  • A [a (measures 1-4) + a (measures 5-8)]
  • B [b (measures 9-12) + a (measures 13-16)]
  • B [b (measures 17-20) + a (measures 21-24)]
  • Coda (measures 25-31)

Since the B section is repeated identically, it can be essentially understood as a binary form of A+B, with a coda appended.

In section 'a', the right hand features a figure of alternating ascending and descending sixteenth notes, with an eighth note superimposed above them, emphasizing the upper note. The left hand, in eighth notes, moves in parallel motion with the right hand's ascending and descending melody. In section 'b', the roles of the hands are reversed. No modulations are observed; the piece maintains a bright sonority in the tonic key of G major throughout, moving delicately.
