First published: unknown. Completeness: unknown.Arabesque is a concise C-major Allegretto full of curling sixteenth-note figures and short, detached answers. Its two repeated sections balance flowing melody against crisp accompaniment. Measures 1–4 pair an upper leap and descending run with a quieter answering gesture. The lower part often waits until the melody pauses before supplying its detached intervals. Measures 5–8 recall the opening and shorten its figures toward the first cadence. Measures 9–12 move the running idea higher and contrast a strong statement with a softer echo. Measures 13–16 return to the original register and melodic shapes. A decrease in intensity brings the second section to its close. Interesting fact: The accompaniment helps shape the phrases by replying in the melody’s gaps, creating a miniature conversation around the running figures.
