- Full orchestra including:
- Violin I
- Violin II
- Viola
- Cello
- Violoncello e Basso (Cembalo)
- Oboe I
- Oboe II (?)
- French Horn (?)
Meter/Tempo/Rhythm:
- Clearly duple simple, 4/4 (emphasis on downbeats)
- VERY slow tempo - lower end of adagio/higher end of largo
- Rhythm is fairly straightforward, every note (except for the leading sixteenth notes) falls on a main beat
- No syncopation
Melody:
- The melody is very clear throughout, as it is shared by most of the parts
- Conjunct, there really aren't any huge leaps except for the ends of each phrase in the last two eighth notes (jump a 7th?)
- Sections A and A' seem to lack dynamic contrast and are simply forte throughout
- In Section B, there is a lot of dynamic contrast (jumping quickly back and forth between forte and piano)
Texture:
- Largely homophonic, with the melody in the upper voices (oboe, violin)
- Some parts monophonic, like the beginning of each phrase
Tonality:
- Overall clear minor tonality
- Chromaticism within the key (look at eighth notes at the end of first two phrases for examples)
- Suspensions present in B (?)
Structure:
- This piece can be broken down into three main sections:
- A (0:00-0:21)
- A' (0:21-0:43)
- B (0:43-1:30)
- Sections A and A' are identical but for the fact that A' is a whole step above A.
- Section B is similar to A and A' except it is less monophonic, and the suspensions make it sound a bit like parts are running over each other, creating dissonance and a less clear statement of the melody
