Musical Features
Form
The form of Opus 211 no.1 is binary form or two-part form. It has two eight bar sections, each of which is immediately repeated.
Key
The home key of the piece is C major and features a modulation (key change) to the key of E minor at bar 8, marking the end of the first section. The second section reverts to the key of C major with some interesting hints at G major and A minor.
Timing Matters
The time signature of 2/4 (two-four) means there are two beats per bar and each beat is worth one quarter note in duration. Rhythmic interest comes from the frequently encountered, unequal two-note groupings that consists of a dotted 16th note followed by a 32nd note. These note pairs last for exactly one beat.
