(i) The A part of the first piece, itself a rounded binary design (a/ba), begins and continues tentatively, but concludes strongly in the return of its opening ideas: as Schachter has observed, this first part of the piece achieves full closure and can stand alone.15 The B section, also a clear rounded binary structure in the closely related dominant key of G major, reaffirms and carries forward the natural musical flow that the A section finally achieves: it retains but subordinates the triplet motive from the A section, now grounding the music in this motive as a textural element; and it incorporates the prominent upper-neighbor and ascending-fourth motives of the earlier music, subordinating them also to its directed motion.
