This Gigue possesses a refined character. For instance, let us consider where the peak points might be in the first half. Possible candidates include measure 14, or (and) measure 23. Let us proceed with a sense of direction towards these peak points. In the second half, the F-sharp minor cadence in measure 33, measure 40, etc., can be considered.

Now, this Gigue is easier to understand when considered section by section, so let us divide it accordingly.

First Half:

  • Measures 1-8: The theme in E major.
  • Measures 9-15: A section with many possibilities, allowing for various interpretations.
  • Measures 16-24: A section characterized by memorable arpeggios.

Second Half:

  • Measures 25-34: Features long trills and a modulation to F-sharp minor.
  • Measures 35-43: A section with many possibilities, allowing for various interpretations.
  • Measures 44-48: The same arpeggio pattern as in measures 16-24.

For your reference.
