A single unaccompanied line opens the piece, then harp-like arpeggios break through. In the B section a solemn in B-flat minor builds to an impassioned that overlaps the of the opening melody (A′). A second, short-lived outburst follows, and the final ends with a slow ascending E-flat minor arpeggio.

  1. A Section--E-flat minor
  2. B Section--B-flat minor

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