The piece begins with a memorable main theme that Chopin varies from time to time in order to maintain the piece’s interest. The trio section of the piece is very similar to the main theme, providing little contrast. The piece concludes with an interesting coda, full of accidentals and chromatic harmonies and finishing on a tonic chord, repeated 4 times.
