Measures 1–8 set out an A-flat-major theme with rolled chords, small grace-note figures, triplets, and dotted rhythms over alternating bass notes and chords. Measures 9–17 turn to E-flat major for a dolce melody with rising figures and descending dotted patterns, with first and second endings in measures 16 and 17. The opening material returns in measures 18–25.
The Trio in measures 26–49 opens in D-flat major, with the melody an octave higher and rolled chords answering its flowing eighth notes. Measures 34–41 contrast this with fuller octave-and-chord figures and descending phrases, then the high-register Trio melody returns in measures 42–49.
Measures 50–57 restore the opening theme. A simpler E-flat-major melody follows in measures 58–65, moving from spacious quarter notes to short running figures and rolled chords. Measures 66–73 return to A-flat major and close with the theme’s chordal cadence.
