Form and Thematic Description

The tonic key is B-flat major, and the form is ternary.

  • A [a (measures 1-8) + a (measures 9-16) + b (measures 17-24) + b (measures 25-32)]
  • B [c (measures 33-40) + d (measures 41-48)]
  • A1 [a (measures 49-55) + b (measures 56-63)]

Only in the opening A section are the individual sub-sections repeated.

The main theme, primarily consisting of ascending and descending arpeggiated lines, develops boldly in unison with eighth and quarter notes, reminiscent of a hunting motif. The b section begins with an imperfect cadence on the dominant chord but concludes by utilizing thematic fragments.

Section B modulates to E-flat major in its first half, and subsequently to its parallel minor, E-flat minor. Unlike section A, it features fewer disjunct motions and has a somewhat subdued atmosphere. From measure 49, section A is recapitulated, bringing the piece to its conclusion.
