Ferdinand Beyer - Décameron suisse, Op. 153, No. 3 - Bonheur du berger suisse

Measures 1-4 open the Allegro giusto in G major with sustained chords and short chord replies. Measures 5-28 present a dolce melody with dotted rhythms, short slurs, and grace notes above alternating bass notes and chords. Fuller rolled chords and a brief slowing interrupt the melody before it resumes.

Measures 29-34 introduce a risoluto passage of accented chords and a high-register rising and falling line. Measures 35-47 change to a grazioso upper line of flowing eighth notes and repeated rising shapes. Measures 48-67 move to E-flat major for a vibrato melody, dotted phrases, and shorter rising figures above the same bass-and-chord accompaniment.

Measures 68-84 develop a scherzando phrase with chromatic notes, turns, and groups of five short notes, including a shift into a higher octave. Measures 85-91 change to quieter quarter-note and chord motion in both parts. Measures 92-104 return to G major with grazioso rising figures, repeated upper notes, a descending run, and short lower-register notes.

Measures 105-127 recall the opening dolce melody, grace-note phrases, and rolled chord interruptions. Measures 128-152 expand the accented chord passage with high-register runs and chromatic shifts. Measures 153-169 return to flowing eighth-note figures, then add lusingando groups of five notes and descending phrases.

Measures 170-184 combine falling and rising runs with held lower harmony, followed by flowing lines shared between the two parts and a rise from the low register. Measures 185-193 bring back high-register figures, broaden into repeated full chords, and finish with separated chord replies and a sustained low G.
