Measure numbers follow the printed barlines, with the opening pickup excluded. Free flourishes within a printed bar are counted as one measure.

The Andante is in 3/4. Measures 1-9 present a sustained upper melody with short rising figures and an answering lower line within the upper staff; the lower staff remains silent. Measures 10-18 introduce a rapid descending flourish and exchange slurred figures between the two parts. Measures 19-29 present a dolce melody in paired notes and octaves above recurring bass notes and broken chords.

Measures 30-44 expand into rising and falling upper runs, repeated high notes, and chromatic figures above lower chord replies and octave movement. Measures 45-49 return to short melody phrases, adding trills and rising ornamental figures. Measures 50-73, marked con passione at the start, broaden the melody into upper octaves above continuous repeated lower chords. The phrases become quieter and more ornamented before a rapid flourish crosses the two parts.

Measures 74-86 recall the paired-note melody and repeated chord accompaniment, then rise into accented octaves. Measures 87-89 widen into freely written runs across both registers and settle into a slower chord reply. Measures 90-94, marked Tempo I at the start, return to the earlier melody and broken chords. Measures 95-116 develop rapid rising and falling runs, chromatic figures, and repeated upper notes above spaced lower notes and chords. Measures 117-124 restore a broad paired-note melody above continuous lower arpeggios. Measures 125-139 rise through further runs, accelerate through chromatic figures, and close with emphatic chord replies and a held E-flat-major harmony.
