The Anglaise is an English dance with an accent on the first beat, but it seems to have originally been notated as a Gavotte. It is unclear why something notated as a Gavotte became an Anglaise. However, if considered as an Anglaise, the melody line on the first beat often consists of a quarter note, and the accent on it gives a sense of crispness.

This Anglaise should be considered in four-bar units. That is, it is divided into sections such as bars 1-4, 5-8, 9-12, and so on. An analysis of each phrase reveals:

• Bars 1-4: H minor
• Bars 5-8: D major
• Bars 9-12: D major
• Bars 13-16: F-sharp minor
• Bars 17-20: Sequence
• Bars 21-24: H minor
• Bars 25-28: Returns to the same opening phrase in H minor
• Bars 29-32: H minor

As the key changes, the dynamics and timbre should be adjusted accordingly. The F-sharp minor section has heightened tension. Furthermore, the final section, bars 29-32, is also a passage of increasing tension. Understand these points and try to make them consistent with the other sections.
