- - Triplet quavers (b.1 + 3 and modified repeat at 42 + 44)
- Hemiola (b.67) creates broadening of music in prep. for final cadence
- Cross-phrasing (metrical emphasis moved to weak beat) at bars 38 - 40

- A) (Non-standard) rounded binary form: Section A = b. 1 - 22, Section B = 23 - 72,
- B) Ternary form: Section A = b. 1-22, Section B = 23-41, Section Av = b. 42-72
- - C) Rondo form:
- Melody
- Moves narrowly in most phrases
- Simple melodies, mostly in 2 bar phrases

- Monophonic (b.5 - 6, 20 - 22, 66 - Octave passages sssproviding contrast)
