E major, 3/8 time.
The characteristic "inventio" (invention/idea) in this piece is likely the syncopation in both voices. At the beginning, while the lower voice ascends diatonically, the upper voice descends chromatically, offset by a half-beat. Furthermore, this four-measure subject is repeated with the voices exchanged (this contrapuntal technique of exchanging multiple voices is called invertible counterpoint).
It is also noteworthy that this is the only piece among the Inventions that includes a repeat sign within the movement. The first section (A), delimited by this repeat sign, progresses from E major to the dominant B major. The second section consists of a developmental middle section (B) and a return of A, which closes the piece in the tonic key (||:A:||:BA:||). This scheme (a two-part form with the return of A) indicates an approach to instrumental forms that would be theorized as "sonata form" in the first half of the 19th century.
