A gentle, pleasing song, as its marking says ( means agreeable). A freely varied, -like opening gives way to a melody that sounds like a voice with string accompaniment. Then the contrasting section (B) starts, the opening (A′), and a follows. At the end the bass drops through more than two octaves and the hands cross.
