The measured upper phrases and quick lower groups give its 2/4 pulse a buoyant, rippling surface. At the opening, paired upper notes and small melodic turns sound over compact six-note groups. These figures repeatedly rise, fall, and change register as the harmony shifts. Longer upper notes and tied intervals create moments of breadth above the constant activity, while later passages draw both parts into running motion. The close grows quieter, passes through a last descending bass figure, and finishes with a short chord above a low final note. An interesting detail is the accompaniment's grouping: six quick notes fit into each beat, creating a finer layer of motion beneath the melody's simpler rhythm.
