Slow and wistful, the piece opens with a melody in G minor (A), built in two matching halves, the second marked as the second . The brighter (B) brings some relief, and a varied version of its idea follows (c′). The opening melody as A′, with its own second , and the thoughtful, shaded mood is restored.
