Ferdinand Beyer - 6 Morceaux élégants, Op. 99, No. 1 - Du bist wie eine Blume

The Andante begins in 2/4 with an eighth-note pickup. Measures 1-16 alternate rising and falling figures, rolled chords, high trills, and broad runs across the registers, then settle into a short lead-in. Measures 17-34 present the song melody above repeated inner notes and flowing lower broken chords. Measures 35-50, marked marcato il canto at the start, return to the melody with denser inner figures and stronger chord accents.

Measures 51-76 broaden the melody into octaves above continuous lower arpeggios. Short high grace-note figures appear in measures 70-72, followed by rising paired-note runs and a chordal reply. Measures 77-103 place the melody above repeated inner chords while the lower part alternates bass notes, trills, and short ornaments.

Measures 104-108 connect moving upper octaves with lower bass notes and chords. Measures 109-122, marked Grandioso at the start, develop a chordal melody with repeated inner notes, rising paired-note figures, and strong accents over lower bass notes and chords, then descend through paired notes.

Measures 123-128 return to the octave melody, flowing lower arpeggios, and short high ornaments. Measures 129-142 expand into rising and falling runs above lower bass notes and chords. Measures 143-146 pass broad rising arpeggios through both parts and answer with accented chords. Measures 147-151 close with repeated upper chords over moving lower figures, emphatic chord accents, and a held A-flat-major harmony.
