Structure
The piece is in G major and ternary form.
- A [a (measures 1-8) + b (measures 9-16)]
- B [c (measures 17-24) + c1 (measures 25-34)]
- A' [a (measures 35-42) + b (measures 43-50)]
Section A
Section A unfolds at a rapid tempo with smooth ascending and descending sixteenth notes. It is a perpetuum mobile, developing actively within the bright atmosphere of the major key.
Section B
Section B modulates to the parallel minor, E minor. It develops around a characteristic motif composed of four sixteenth notes (including a figure with a double appoggiatura) and one eighth note. The C note in measure 34 (from measures 33-34) is the seventh of the dominant seventh chord in the tonic key of G major, and its placement signals the return to the tonic key. From measure 35, the theme is recapitulated, eventually leading to the conclusion.
