- Music for a While: Melody
- · The soprano line has a range or compass of a ninth (apart from the ornamental G in bar 36) from the lowest note of E just above middle C to F just over an octave higher.
- Much of the music is conjunct or stepwise.
- Passing notes are frequent. For example, the E and C on beat 4 of bar 5 are non-harmony notes and do not belong to the chord but link to notes from the chord.
- Any leaps are small and generally no greater than a perfect fourth (e.g. bar 7).
- Rests are used to break up phrases.
- There are some descending sequences (e.g. bar 20).
- There is extensive use of ornaments in both the soprano line and the right hand of the harpsichord
