This F-major minuet has an ornamented upper melody and an independent bass. Dotted rhythms, graceful turns, and contrasting dynamics enliven its measured three-beat movement.

Measures 1–4 introduce the opening descent, a dotted answering figure, and a more flowing line with a chromatic inflection. A tiny grace-note gesture leads to a pause while the bass continues.

Measures 5–9 answer the opening and provide separate first and second endings. The second ending carries the bass downward into the next section.

Measures 10–13 introduce a softer dolce passage with short ornamental runs. Measures 14–17 restore a stronger dynamic, extend the melody upward, and end with a trill followed by the final cadence.

Interesting fact: The RTV edition prints both alternate endings as separate measures, which is why its second section begins at measure 10 rather than immediately after measure 8.
