1. Pickup and measures 1–24: The Vivace opens with high accented intervals, triplet figures and sharply contrasting articulations. A lighter chordal sequence gives way to syncopated phrases, short chromatic runs and displaced accents, rising through a crescendo. 2. Measures 25–45: Ornamented upper calls introduce a four-flat episode over a recurring lower pulse. Dotted chordal responses, quadruplet turns and a chromatic ascent lead toward a quieter low-register exchange. 3. Measures 46–65: A legato passage places differently phrased moving lines in the two parts. The texture becomes more marked and rhythmically active before the earlier rapid upper run returns and quiet tied chords prepare the next section. 4. Measures 66–88: Poco piu mosso and Ancora piu mosso introduce successive changes of pulse. Molto meno mosso then replaces the rapid exchanges with held sonorities and quiet detached notes. An accelerating rise, chordal punctuation and a slowing diminuendo complete the episode. 5. Measures 89–111: Tempo I restores legato upper figures against a detached lower line. Quiet chords, septuplet flourishes and a triplet exchange precede another change of pulse, ornamented figures and high accented calls. 6. Measures 112–137: The opening chordal material returns with altered lower notes and stronger inner movement. Rapid upper runs lead into the Presto, where displaced chords, rising accents and slurred lower triplets intensify the texture. 7. Measures 138–147: The Vivacissimo builds through a rising upper line and a quadruplet ascent. Accented register changes lead into a fixed-position tremolo and trill above a sustained lower sonority.
