Like a nocturne

Introduction: four measures, calmly decomposing chords, preparing to introduce the main melody. This accompaniment makes people feel like they are on a tranquil lake.
A: aba three-part form plus coda
a: It consists of two eight-bar musical phrases. The first half of the sentence is four bars, and then the second half of the sentence is the same.

b: This is a paragraph that is compared with paragraph a, but the contrast is not obvious at first.
Reappearance a: Same as the previous a, but with a counterpoint melody added in the next eight bars.
Small coda: The accompaniment pattern has not changed, and the melody is composed of sixteenth notes.
