Schumann's Arabeske is written in rondo form, with three rondo sections, two episodes or trios (B-C) followed by a coda D, making a total of six distinct sections as follows, A-B-A-C-A-D.
The refrain section, marked "Leicht und zart" (Gently and tenderly) depicts the loving, smiling and peaceful character of this opening part.
The first episode in E minor is written in the style of a string quartet, and ends with a transition passage twelve bars long, full of subtle harmonies. Here the poet Schumann/Eusebius speaks to us.
A repeat of the refrain leads us into the second episode in A minor, reminiscent of the opening of the refrain, and a series of interrogative passages builds up, interrupted by rhythmic marches full of energy.
The refrain makes its third and final appearance.
The Arabeske concludes with a sublime coda, full of poetry and grace, a dream-filled epilogue marked, very simply, "Zum Schluff" (to close).
