The introduction in measures 1–9 contrasts forceful dotted octaves and chord accents with a quieter high-register descent. A chromatic slowing passage and a trill lead to a pause before the Schottisch.
Measures 10–24 present a grace-note melody with flowing short-note figures over bass notes and chords. The left hand briefly moves into the treble register, and the melody expands upward through a crescendo before the first and second endings in measures 25–26.
The second strain, measures 27–42, introduces a broader octave melody and dotted figures at mf. Tied upper notes open into short runs, with stronger chord accents and small ornamental notes. Related material returns before the closing tonic cadence and repeat bar.
