Op. 190, No. 18 has a buoyant upper melody made from repeated notes and short upward leaps. A smoother, regularly moving lower line supports its detached character.

The upbeat and first eight-measure section develop the repeated-note figure, then introduce an accented longer note and a brief chromatic change at the cadence.

The second section answers from a new pitch level and adds a little more eighth-note movement. Its final phrase descends through the familiar repeated-note pattern and settles over the closing bass.

Interesting fact: The opening deliberately contrasts detached upper notes with a long slur over the lower accompaniment.
