Sustained notes and gently moving inner lines give its phrases a sense of continuity even as the harmony shifts. The opening sets a long upper note against rising and falling figures shared between the parts. Similar shapes recur through chromatic changes, with fuller chords and stronger accents building the central phrases. The upper line later reaches a higher register while the bass maintains the connected motion. The final passage descends, softens, and broadens under a rallentando before settling into the closing harmony. An interesting detail is the overlapping rhythm: a held note often continues while another voice moves beneath it, so the musical lines seem to breathe at different moments.
