Section A

Texture

The music starts with a two part texture, where the violins play the melody and the viola and cello accompany. The violins play in octaves until bar 6 where they go into thirds and sixths. The texture progresses and becomes mostly homophonic.

Melody and dynamics

There is use of ornamentation with an appoggiatura in bar 4 and trills in bars 6 and 7. The melody consists of both conjunct and disjunct movement and there is a descending sequence in bars 6 and 7. There is double stopping on the viola at the end of the section. This means two notes are played at the same time.

The dynamics are forte throughout section A.

Harmony and tonality

The section starts in G major and uses a mix of root position and first inversion chords throughout. The chords change nearly every beat and there is use of the dominant 7^th (V⁷) chord. The section ends on a perfect cadence (V⁷ - I).

Section B

Dynamics

The section starts with piano to contrast with section A but goes back to forte at bar 12.

Texture

The texture is thinner using melody and accompaniment with two parts. There is contrary motion between the violins and cello at bar 13. The texture changes to four-part harmony for the cadence at the end of the section.

Melody

The melody is much more conjunct than section A, with a fluid quaver movement and has a two- bar descending sequence. The trills from section A return at bar 14 and the end of the section is a repeat of the end of section A.

Harmony and tonality

The section starts in E minor - the relative minor - and moves through D minor, ending back at the tonic - G major for the end of the section. The section ends on a perfect cadence (V⁷ - I).
