Measures 1-2 establish repeated sixteenth notes in B minor. Measures 3-35 introduce the rising and falling melody above the persistent motion, building to fuller chords before a quieter ending and repeat. From the second ending in measure 36, fragments of the melody shift through chromatic harmonies and contrasting registers. Descending phrases and rising runs lead to the opening figure in measure 74. The later continuation strengthens the chordal texture and returns to more agitated exchanges in measure 105. The closing passage gradually settles into repeated B-minor harmony and a final pause.
