whole work built on Neapolitan relationships (mvt1 in A major, mvt2 in Bb major)
modulations to unrelated keys (E minor at bar 17, C major art 41)
Use of octatonic scale (21-22, 30, 33-34, 62-64)
Bb not returned to after bar 10 except for first inversion at bar 41
central section in B+/- but tonality ambiguous bc lack of root position chords until bar 35

Loosely ternary form (A=bar 1, B=bar 23, A’=bar 41

return of A at 52 is in F major and is short, more like coda
