Measures 1–11 begin with a very quiet, smooth chain of chromatically changing chords. At measure 7, a longer upper melody emerges above the continuing chordal movement, with shorter inner notes filling out the texture.
Measures 12–26 introduce off-beat figures and an accompaniment that alternates bass notes with higher chords. The sound grows, and flowing triplets enter at measure 20 above sustained low notes. The triplet passage then diminishes into a very quiet pause.
Measures 27–43 begin with distant, softly spaced chord responses. From measure 32, freer melodic phrases and running figures alternate with measured chordal replies. Fragments of the opening chord sequence return, and the section settles onto a soft, sustained harmony.
Measures 44–75 expand the earlier material through changing harmonies and registers. Long upper notes lie over moving inner parts and lower chords, then the off-beat figures and alternating bass accompaniment return. Chordal fragments pass between the upper and lower parts before a diminuendo and slight slowing.
Measures 76–96 bring back the quiet opening and its expressive upper melody. The accompaniment again develops into alternating bass notes and chords, while the upper part rises and the texture gradually broadens.
Measures 97–109 turn more agitated, with running lower figures and short upper flourishes. A quieter calmato response enters at measure 101. Chromatic chord phrases then build toward rising chordal triplets and a broad upper-register arrival.
Measures 110–120 begin with the triplet figure high in the keyboard over deep, sustained bass notes. The music gradually fades and slows. Poco meno begins within measure 117, after a fermata, and the last quiet chord responses lead to a sustained ppp close.
