Measures 5–24 set a lively C-major melody against alternating bass notes and chords; quick chromatic turns and two endings lead into the next strain. Measures 25–42 begin with firm chordal accents, then fill the melody with running notes and rising gestures. Measures 43–62 shift to A-flat major. The melody moves in a higher register, with repeated notes, octave chords, and chromatic decorations above the steady two-step bass. Measures 63–83 return to a one-flat key and introduce a softer, more flowing theme, which grows through repeated phrases and higher notes. Measures 84–100 bring back the bright chordal and running-note material in C major, ending with a short upward flourish and a final chord.
