There are three sections to this piece. The first section is a parallel period that is symmetrical. The first phrase ends with a half cadence and the second ends with a perfect authentic cadence in E Major. The second section is repeated and I find that it may be a phrase group. There is one four measure phrase ending on a HC in A, but the second phrase is eight measures long ending on a PAC. (is there a name for that?) The third section is a parallel asymmetrical period. Again the first phrase ends with a HC but the second phrase ends with a PAC in A. The second phrase is longer by one measure because of an extension. The song makes me want to dance. The first two sections are very up-beat and bubbly. The third section is very legato and sweet sounding.
