Three sections, the first on Man. 1 with Principal 8 + Octave 4 + Quinta 1 1/2 has some rapid ornamentation ending with a pedal point over which first inversion arpeggios descend. The second section on Man. 2 Gedackt 8 + Rohrflöte 4 + 2 Oktava, is like a fugue with a jaunty little subject and ends with sequential arpeggios, interrupted by section 3 (same registration as #1) with rapid fire scale passages followed by a calm ending.
