Although the authenticity of this work is questioned, Haydn himself acknowledged it as his own in 1803. The first edition was published as a duet with violin.

First Movement

A major, 2/4 time, Sonata form

Although it is an Andante movement, it is composed in a classical sonata form.

The entire movement is dominated by a figure of sixteenth-note triplets, and the first half is not based on the contrast of multiple themes, but rather on a modulation process from the tonic to the dominant.

The second half (from m. 21) is structured by a modulation process from the dominant to the tonic, and from m. 38, the first half is recapitulated in the tonic key.

Second Movement

A major, 3/4 time, Minuet

The main section of the Minuet, characterized by a theme of eighth-note triplets, has a tonal structure of "tonic → dominant : dominant → tonic."

In contrast, the Trio section, which begins in the parallel minor, A minor, is based on a theme characterized by syncopation, and is structured by a tonal relationship of "tonic → relative major : relative major → tonic."

Third Movement

A major, 3/8 time, (Sonata form)

It could be called a sonata form in that it is a binary form with a tonal structure of tonic → dominant, dominant → tonic. However, the process of returning to the tonic in the second half (from m. 29) is only 7 measures long.

It has a very concise structure, being only 69 measures long (though effectively 138 measures due to repetition). However, the theme is composed of an odd number of measures (7 measures, 4+3), and other musical ideas have irregular phrase structures of even + odd numbers of measures, revealing musical structures characteristic of Haydn.
