The piece was published in 1852 together with the Waltz in F minor, Op. 70 No. 2. It was also published posthumously in 1855 by his friend Julian Fontana. The main theme is in the key of B minor and is marked with an overall tempo of Moderato. The piece consists of three main themes. The first theme is sixteen measures long and is repeated again on the last page of the piece. The second theme, marked con anima, is of eight measures which is then repeated again with slight variations, along with the reprise of the main theme, also varied. Together they form a kind of aa, bb', a' structure. The Trio in B major consists of only a single theme of eight bars repeated. The sixteen bars are then repeated again with a modulation back to B minor. The section can be structured as c, c'. The return of the first section is without repeats, forming a ternary form (ABA). It is one of several works that the composer hoped would be burnt upon his death.
