It is in binary form.

• a (measures 1-8)
• b (measures 9-14)
• Coda (measures 15-22)

The main key is G major. The theme is presented in the opening four measures. Measures 4-8 modulate to the relative minor, E minor, repeating measures 1-4. From section b, the music returns to the main key, and the melody, which had previously been descending, now ascends. From measure 15, the theme's motif is developed twice in four-measure units. Harmonically, measures 15-18 are in the dominant chord of the mediant key (III), after which measures 19-22 resolve harmonically to the tonic chord (I). To express this series of movements, even though there is a fermata at measure 18, one should consider an interpretation that does not close the phrase there but rather anticipates the next measure.
