In G-flat major, in binary form.

A [a (measures 1-8) + a1 (measures 9-16)]

B [b (measures 17-24) + a1 (measures 25-32)]

The left hand provides an accompaniment of quarter notes. The melody, encompassed by a long slur over the initial four measures, is characteristic of the Romantic era, conveying a smooth, vocal impression with a long phrase sense.

In section B, there are larger leaps, and sixteenth-note turns are also observed, reminiscent of Chopin's Nocturnes.
