Obs.: This lively piece is the eighth of 24 pieces in Tchaikovsky's Album for the Young. But some later editions use different numbering, based on the composer's autograph score. It features an A-B-C-A-B musical form: Section A (measures 1 to 18): two similar 9-bar phrases, the first one ending on the tonic and the second one modulating to G minor Section B (measures 19 to 34): a contrasting section, back in E flat Major, featuring slightly higher notes, delicate staccato notes and an elegant character Section C (measures 35 to 53): another contrasting section, this time heavier and restless, with accents over ostinati fifths in the left hand Section A (measures 54 to 68): identical to the beginning Section B (measures 69 to 85): identical to measures 19 to 34, except the very end
