In F major, in ternary form.

  • A [a (measures 1-4) + a1 (measures 5-8)]
  • B (measures 9-12)
  • A [a (measures 13-16) + concluding a2 (measures 17-20)]
  • Coda (measures 21-28)

The theme has a distinctive rhythm, with a sforzando indicated on the weak third beat. Given the repetitive figural motion, this sforzando is likely intended to have an anacrusis-like nuance. Combined with the dotted rhythm, such characteristic rhythms likely possess a quality related to the work's title. In the coda, the theme is restated monophonically in the bass, bringing the piece to a close.
