A gentle, unhurried melody in A major sings from the start. In the B section the music turns to F-sharp minor and becomes more restless, with three notes against two and a hidden in the left hand, where the tune is echoed in longer notes. Then the A major begins.
- A Section--A major: First
- B Section--F-sharp minor
Section boundaries in music are not always sharp; a transition may be felt over a pause or a held chord.
