Following an upbeat, measures 1–18 weave a sustained F-sharp-minor melody through moving eighth notes, with accented chords and increasingly wide phrases. Measures 19–22 place a cantabile line in the bass beneath descending and rising right-hand figures; measures 23–33 transfer the flowing motion to the left hand, build through fuller upper chords, and lead to a descending run and the repeat. From measure 34, fragments of the opening idea alternate with rising arpeggios and rests, gathering into a stronger chordal passage. The tranquillo section beginning in measure 53 softens the texture, and a lower cantabile melody emerges in measure 58. The change to F-sharp major in measure 63 brings a brighter return of the flowing figures and chordal melody. The final phrases descend and quieten, ending with widely spaced chords separated by rests.
