B minor, 2/2 time, Allegro con fuoco, Ternary form.

The A section (measures 1-29) serves as an exercise in octave unison for both hands. It is characterized by a ponderous, stepwise progression, and the key elements for its performance are the effective use of the pedal to achieve the desired acoustic effect and the mastery of arm weight application.

The B section (from measure 30 onwards) shifts to 3/4 time and modulates to B major. The right hand plays the melody in the same octaves as in the A section, but its character completely transforms, becoming calm and graceful. The left hand divides into inner and outer voices, with the inner voice occasionally tracing the right-hand melody in unison. After a 14-measure transitional passage that repeats the same descending motif, the piece returns to the A section.
