Measures 1–4 introduce the rag with a flowing upper line, a brief chromatic turn, and a short descending reply.
Measures 5–21 begin the first repeated strain with syncopated upper chords over alternating low bass notes and chords. Small rising figures and two endings complete the phrase. Measures 22–38 move to a new key: repeated high chords and quick chromatic runs answer each other over the same bass pattern.
Measures 39–54 bring back the first strain, with its compact chord figures and held closing notes. Measures 55–72 shift to a softer new key and a more rounded melodic line, interrupted by bright upper chords and a short pair of alternate endings.
Measures 73–89 contrast block chords with light, rising upper runs. The bass continues its alternating pulse as the melody returns to shorter syncopated fragments and closes on a held chord.
