The work is predicated on a classic, five octave instrument, F to f. Scales beginning in the diatonic minor open the work This movement is a simple ABA' structure with some contrasting material.

A gentle, ornamented solo line is accompanied by a Viennese waltz-like rhythm yet notated in 6/8.

Among the gestures of the work, the notion of seconds combining with minor scales combine for light dissonance alongside clear tonality.

Again scales form this movement as in the previous, now beginning in the relative major, rising gestures, then moving to the relative minor in a light-hearted fashion.

Scale-wise motion combining into clusters is the subject for this next section, an element to combine later in the work with others.

A final jig fugue ends the work, bringing together textures and elements as a summation of the work.
