First published: unknown. Completeness: unknown.Diabelli’s Op. 125, No. 5 is a gentle Andantino with a melody in paired upper notes above a steady quarter-note bass. Measures 1–8 introduce balanced rises and falls, with rests in the upper line allowing the bass to complete the phrases. Measures 9–16 lift the same material into a higher register and add brief chromatic color. Measures 17–24 give the bass more melodic movement beneath a stronger restatement. The upper intervals then descend into a concise cadence, retaining the piece’s broad, even rhythm. Interesting fact: The melody is harmonized in two notes almost throughout, while the single-note bass supplies a third voice and a constant pulse.
