Variation 1 – A dance-like movement in 2 parts, manualiter
Variation 2 – A light-hearted variation with the melody harmonised
and accompanied by delicate arabesques
Variation 3 – A lyrical aria with gentle diatonic dissonance
Variation 4 & 5 – A piquant French-style toccata, preceded by a brief
3-part fugato and episode
