Most phrases are constructed in multiples of four measures. Especially in the first half, the formal divisions are clear, and the harmony and melody are not complex, making it very accessible. Particularly noteworthy in terms of harmonic contrast is the sequence from measure 101 in the latter half. Although the material is previously introduced in the first half, the alternation of major and minor chords every two measures lends freshness to the music. Towards the end of both the first and latter halves, tonic chords are continuously struck in octave chords, emphasizing the key with a majestic sound.
