Ferdinand Beyer - 6 Morceaux élégants, Op. 96, No. 6 - Der Wirthin Töchterlein

The Andante begins in 6/8 with a short chordal pickup. Measures 1-14 alternate rising figures shared between the parts, upper chord replies, and repeated dotted chords. Measures 15-23 introduce a melody in paired notes and then single notes above flowing lower broken chords, with short high ornaments and a descending reply. Measures 24-26 bring held rolled harmonies before the melody returns in measures 27-30. Measures 31-32 add short upper octave figures, followed by a dolce melody and fuller paired-note phrases in measures 33-38.

Measures 39-46 place a broad melody in paired upper notes above low bass notes and repeated lower chords. Measures 47-48 introduce short high chord figures, then measures 49-54 return to the melody over flowing lower broken chords. Measures 55-65 build through fuller upper chords and repeated lower chords, followed by short high figures over held lower harmonies. Measures 66-72 combine the melody with upper octave replies and short phrases separated by rests.

Measures 73-80 return to the melody over flowing lower broken chords and broaden into paired notes and fuller harmonies. Measures 81-82 expand into wide arpeggios shared between the parts. After the lower accompaniment continues alone in measure 83, measures 84-91 alternate broad rising and falling upper figures above continuous lower broken chords. Measures 92-95, marked un poco meno mosso at the start, quieten into repeated rising and descending phrases. Measures 96-99 present a short chordal melody above the same flowing accompaniment. Measures 100-104 spread final rising arpeggios across the parts, then close with quiet low chords and a held A-flat-major harmony.
