Measures 1–16 open with quiet triplet figures, followed by a quick upper line above alternating bass notes and chords. The melody rises into repeated notes and closes on longer, softer tones.

Measures 17–24 shift to a gentler, more sustained high-register melody above spaced bass and chordal replies. Short dotted chords and descending inner lines lead to a pause.

Measures 25–40 begin a firmer passage with detached notes and strong accents. The upper line gives way to low held chords, an ascending bass line, and a repeated-note figure that climbs into the high register.

Measures 41–50 return to a softer phrase with four-note upper groups, then build through higher chords and short chromatic runs. Measures 51–66 restore the opening triplet and flowing upper line before the final chordal cadence.
