Ferdinand Beyer - Les varietes, Op. 130, No. 31 - Rondino sur un theme francais

Measures 1-11 begin Allegretto gioviale in 3/8. Accented upper notes and small ornaments alternate with rising and falling sixteenth-note runs above a separate bass note and two upper accompaniment notes.

Measures 12-28 introduce a dolce melody with short slurred phrases, repeated notes and dotted rhythms above the same lower pattern. Accented replies interrupt the melody, then the phrases expand into rising runs and a high held note.

Measures 29-44 alternate longer upper notes with short chromatic turns and flowing runs. The lower part varies between a bass-and-chord pattern and held chords, while the upper melody moves into an octave-marked register.

Measures 45-56 introduce flowing lower sixteenth notes beneath held upper notes and short replies. Rising upper runs, longer held notes and descending figures expand the register before the next melodic return.

Measures 57-68 return to short dolce upper phrases above the separate bass-and-chord accompaniment. Dotted rhythms and paired upper notes lead to longer running figures.

Measures 69-92 develop continuous rising and falling sixteenth-note patterns. Held lower chords alternate with separate attacks and rests, while the upper phrases move into a higher octave-marked register and continue through brillante chromatic turns.

Measures 93-99 close with marcato descending fragments passing between the hands, separated by short rests. Separate bass and chord attacks lead to a held final lower chord and an upper note.
