The study guide covers the first movement in six sections. Global Tonality treats D minor as a key withheld and explains why A minor, not F major, is the exposition's destination. Formal and Harmonic Analysis sets out every unit's span, closing cadence and function in a single table. The Integrated Analysis walks all 232 measures with harmony, voice leading, register, texture and cadential structure taken together. A Summary draws out what the movement is built on and what follows for performance. Appendix A gives every sonority in the movement with beat, Roman numeral, inversion and sounding pitches. Appendix B lists all confirmed cadences with type, progression and scale degrees, along with the two arrivals that are not cadences.
