This F-major Andantino has the character of a small song. Its melody relies on held notes and modest rises and falls, with the lower voice answering in similarly spare phrases.
Measures 1–2 establish the tune through longer notes and a gentle descent. The bass offers a small answering motion before leaving a brief silence.
Measures 3–4 introduce a more flowing upper arch, then stretch the melody into a sustained note while the lower voice takes over the movement.
Measures 5–8 return to the opening material. The last phrase simplifies the earlier arch and finishes with a long upper note over the bass’s closing motion.
Interesting fact: Türk labels the piece with the song-like exclamation ‘Eja, popeja!’ in the historical score, rather than giving it an abstract instrumental title.
