Wohlfahrt’s Study No. 1 is a 28-measure study in C major and common time, marked Allegro Moderato and forte. Eighth notes continue throughout measures 1–27, followed by a whole-note C in measure 28.

Measures 1–4 alternate a repeated upper-register figure with a descending arpeggio. Measures 5–6 extend the melody upward before descending; measures 7–8 continue the descent into the lower register. Measure 9 alternates neighboring low notes, and measure 10 outlines an ascending and descending C-major arpeggio. Measures 11–12 repeat this contrast.

Measure 13 repeats a four-note rising-and-falling figure. Measure 14 begins with the same figure and then descends. Measures 15–16 turn upward from the lower register. Measure 17 continues the ascent, and measure 18 circles around the upper notes. Measure 19 descends, followed by an arpeggiated rise and fall in measure 20.

Measures 21–24 repeat the material of measures 1–4. Measure 25 repeats a short upper-register figure. Measure 26 outlines descending and rising chord tones, measure 27 returns to the low register, and measure 28 closes on a sustained C.
