In C major, 3/4 time. It is characterized by syncopated chords and a right-hand melody that marks the beat. The syncopated rhythm imbues the work with a sense of dynamism. From measure 9, the roles of both hands switch, with the right hand playing the accompaniment and the left hand playing the melody.

The piece is in binary form.

a (measures 1-8) + b (measures 9-16) + Coda (measures 17-20)

The key is C major.

The theme develops from a motif in measures 1-2, ascending as it unfolds. Upon reaching its climax, instead of a diatonic chord, a borrowed dominant seventh chord of the subdominant (IV) is employed. By precisely using such a borrowed chord amidst a prevalence of diatonic chords, a more emotional expression can be elicited from the harmony.

Section b shares the theme with section a, but the melody is in the left hand instead of the right. While sections a and b are broadly similar, the shift of the melody to the left hand in section b is considered to significantly alter the timbre and structure. Therefore, although it is a simple change, this alteration in register should be treated as a catalyst for a change in expression.
