A in A major. The A is a polite, tuneful melody that three times. Three different episodes come between its : B, C and D. The writing becomes bolder as it goes, and one has a sterner, more serious mood that looks ahead to Beethoven's mature sonatas. A short rounds off the piece.

  1. A
  2. B

Section boundaries in music are not always sharp; a transition may be felt over a pause or a held chord.
