The piece is in binary form.

• A [a (measures 1-8) + a (measures 9-16)]
• B [b (measures 17-24) + a1 (measures 25-32)]

The key is D major. The theme of the opening eight measures is composed of two motives. The first four measures begin with a single line in the left hand. It transitions from mezzo forte for two measures to forte in the subsequent two measures; however, as this change occurs in the low register, the forte conveys not only increased volume but also a sense of weight. Actively expressing such dynamic changes can lead to richer musical expression. The latter four measures are in two voices and partially modulate to the dominant key. While this section could be interpreted as a half cadence from a double dominant to the dominant chord, considering the diminuendo in measures 7-8 (and similarly in measure 16) to signify harmonic resolution, it is more appropriate to regard it as a perfect cadence. Section b is characterized by scalar ascending and descending eighth-note passages, creating a sense of smoother and broader motion. In section a1, the theme is restated in unison and double forte for the first four measures. From measure 29, the dynamics drop to mezzo piano, leading to a light and graceful conclusion.
