Commentary

III (12-23)
IV (23-31)
V (31-36)
VI (36-42)
Structurally, theme 3 is more developed than the others.
One aspect which makes the work little less typical is its harmony — a number of dissonant suspensions and less common harmonic progressions, particularly in theme 3 (bars 13 ff). They are only 4-3 suspensions but their effect is unusual because they occur in non-cadential situations.
