The piece showcases two contrasting sections (A and B), each repeated, a form typical of the dance suites of the time (AABB). The ’A’ section presents a sprightly melody in E major, while the ’B’ section offers a contrasting mood, moving into the somber key of E minor before eventually resolving back to E major.
