Marked Allegro moderato e cantabile and con espressione, it balances sustained melody with constant movement beneath and around it. The opening holds broad upper tones over short, curling bass figures. These figures move into the treble and grow into longer runs, supported by chords and gently shifting bass notes. Rising sequences carry the music into a bright upper register before the opening texture returns. A later stretch introduces darker harmonies and stronger chordal accents, then restores the earlier flowing exchanges. The final phrases become softer and more spacious, with the last quick figures passing through the bass beneath a sustained upper ending. The closing passage lets the upper voice come to rest while the lower voice still moves, so the two layers reach their final stillness at different moments.
