Measures 1–31 introduce the accented, syncopated theme and its overlapping inner voices. Short melodic gestures expand into sweeping quintuplet figures passed between the hands, while repeated staccato chords interrupt the flowing lines.
Measures 32–69 alternate broader melodic phrases over undulating quintuplets with renewed arpeggiated surges. The running figures move between the bass, middle, and upper registers, and the opening theme appears in changing harmonies and textures.
Measures 70–125 bring back the theme more forcefully. Repeated chords, chromatic sequences, and rising quintuplet figures build into fuller passages, with softer melodic episodes between the surges.
Measures 126–148 gradually settle the motion. The quintuplet accompaniment continues beneath a gentler melody before the Più lento recitative begins at measure 136, introducing widely spaced gestures, rests, and quiet sustained harmonies.
Measures 149–164 restore the opening theme after the Tempo I marking in measure 148. A persistent triplet accompaniment gives the return a different rhythmic texture.
Measures 165–183 send octave figures across the keyboard around a middle-register melodic line. The octaves eventually settle into the bass beneath broad, sustained chords. Measures 184–187 bring a final upward arpeggiated surge and an emphatic slowing; the Lento in measures 188–189 closes with expansive, sustained chords.
