A triple-meter waltz is embedded within a 7/4 time signature, structured as 4+3. The opening is marked 'cantando,' indicating it should be played expressively and in a singing style. It is a melancholic waltz; while sustaining the melodic notes sufficiently, it should be played with a sense of propulsion. The hemiola from the 7th beat of measure 9, and the hemiola from measure 17 (in 6/4 time) to measure 18, among other elements, appear to convey a sense of urgency. This waltz in G minor, after its restatement in measure 21, modulates to G major with the left-hand melody starting from measure 24. Above the expansive, high-pitched melody in the left hand, the right hand gently plays the IV and I chords in G major, like a ray of light breaking through.
