Frühlingslied: 0:07–2:19

The melody (Part I) is light and tender, and it rises and falls with a few notes. Underneath, broken chords (arpeggios) run without a break from the first to the last, giving a harp-like shimmer. Part II is the longest section, Part III follows, and a rounds the piece off.

  1. Part I
  2. Part II

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