In G major, it is in compound binary form.

  • A [a (measures 1-8) + b (measures 9-16) + a (measures 17-24)]
  • B [c (measures 25-32) + c1 (measures 33-40) + a (measures 41-48)]

In section a, a monophonic melody begins in the right hand for four measures, followed by the melody being imitated by the left hand from the fifth measure. Given the indication of forte and marcato in the first measure, the articulation of the notes should be clear while expressing a long slurred legato spanning four measures.

A significant feature of section b is the parallel motion in 3rd intervals from measures 9 to 11. When playing narrow chords with both hands, care must be taken as the notes between the left and right hands can easily become misaligned.

In the latter part, section B, sub-section c is formed by homophony with a melody and accompaniment, which contrasts with the polyphonic structure of section A, where melodic lines are present in both hands.
