It is in B minor and in binary form.
- A [a (measures 1-8) + a1 (measures 9-16)]
- B [b (measures 17-24) + a2 (measures 25-32)]
The characteristic motif of the theme consists of a half note repeated on the same pitch, separated by a quarter rest, followed by a large leap. This melodic movement creates a truly elegant and melancholic impression.
In section b, the piece modulates to D major, the relative major. The phrase becomes more expansive, conveying a sense of movement. From measure 25, the theme begins from the dominant chord of B minor as an imperfect cadence. In measures 27-28, a heightened emotional intensity is felt through the right hand's octaves and expanded range, after which the piece quietly concludes.
