Après une introduction majestueuse qui révèle partiellement le thème central on entend une première variation ornementale dans un style classique. Elle est suivie par une deuxième variation dans le style du blues et par une troisième plus rapide dont le caractère provient des musiques traditionnelles d’Europe de l’Est.
