It is in F major and in ternary form.

• A [a (measures 1-8) + a1 (measures 9-16)]
• B [b (measures 17-20) + b1 (measures 21-24)]

The piece is in ternary form because it returns to the beginning at measure 24 via a Da Capo instruction, concluding at measure 16 with a Fine marking.

Although the work's title is "Rondo," it is actually in ternary form. It is likely that the frequent reappearance of section 'a' is what is being referred to as a rondo.

Section A is primarily developed from a motif based on repeated notes. The tempo indication is Poco Presto, which is fast; to achieve this, the left-hand accompaniment figure involves minimal vertical movement in terms of range.

Section B is short, comprising 8 measures compared to Section A's 16 measures. Unlike Section A, its melody is primarily composed of eighth notes, resulting in a smoother motion. It modulates to G major before modulating to C major.
