The Presto finale of Spindler’s Op. 157, No. 4 Sonatina is built around a quick descending motif that passes between the upper and lower voices. Its bright C-major setting contrasts with brief chromatic turns and changes of register.

Measures 1–28 introduce the recurring theme, a quieter melody over alternating accompaniment, and an unaccompanied rise that leads back to the opening. Measures 29–57 begin with emphatic chords, then develop lighter melodic figures through shifting harmonies and exchanges between the voices. Another rising passage prepares the main theme’s return at measure 58. From measure 66, short fragments circle over a repeated bass pattern before a crescendo and rising paired notes lead to the final chord.

Interesting fact: The opening melody starts alone, and the lower voice answers it in the next measure; this exchange returns each time the main theme reappears.
