Measures 1-32 begin with lower broken chords alone, then introduce a connected upper melody with held notes, dotted rhythms, and small decorative figures. The upper part expands into long rising and falling runs, fuller intervals, and trills while the lower accompaniment continues.

Measures 33-61 introduce repeated upper chords and intervals above a more chordal lower part. Flowing upper runs alternate with the chordal phrases, and the texture briefly thins to detached notes before the fuller chord pattern returns.

Measures 62-111 introduce a connected upper melody in intervals above lower broken chords. The phrases broaden into octaves and fuller chords, then bring back earlier decorative runs, held notes, and trills above the returning accompaniment.

Measures 112-128 move through upper broken-chord runs and shorter replies, with passages in which the lower part rests. The closing phrases alternate upper chords with rests above lower broken chords, then thin to held notes before a widely spaced final chord.
