When comparing these four measures with MA BOY, the similarity in rhythmic figures and melody can be observed. Measures 14-15 of this song are similar to measures 10-11 of MA BOY in both melody and figure, and measures 15-16 have a very similar figure to measure 12 of MA BOY. The melodic contour and figure show such significant similarities that it wouldn't be surprising to consider them variations of the same melody.

These two songs show such a similar structure that they can almost be considered identical. First of all, the intro of MA BOY has a very similar vibe to the introduction of TWINKLE. Almost the same progression is found in the bass harmony, with the chord progression, except for the bridge, having only minor variations from the structure of IVmaj7 - IIIm7 - VIm7 - Vm7 - I7(sus4) and repeating the same chords. In the intro of TWINKLE, the progression goes IVmaj7 - III7 - VIm7 - Vm7 - I. Both songs share the same pattern of progression, which is 4-3-6-5-1. Even if the accompaniment of the two songs were swapped and played, it would feel natural, making it difficult to notice any difference. The third chord is a minor seventh in MA BOY and a dominant seventh in TWINKLE, but this is only a minor functional difference. Therefore, whether or not the chord is a secondary dominant does not affect the similarity between the two. It is surprising that the same lyric, "It's gonna be alright," is used in almost the same position in similar music, and the rhythmic figures also show considerable similarity.

The second group is a phrase with pedal point tones, consisting of four successive sequences. The Y element from the first theme becomes a pattern of sequences and prepares for the modulation to the second theme. It continuously emphasizes the dominant chord of E♭ minor before reaching the second theme.

This phrase serves as a transition to the second theme, where modulations often occur. It can be divided into two groups: group 1 from mm. 27 to 34 and group 2 from mm. 35 to 50. The first group features broken V chords that establish the C minor key.

From 11th measure, The first theme of exposition begins in c minor. The theme consists of 8 measures which can be divided into two parts. The upward motion in the first 4 measures is tensive while downward motion in the following 4 measures is relaxative. This motif is developed by imitating X and Y of introduction part. While the first theme maintains on the pedal point tone of tonic, the melody of upper voice is going upward chromatically, then going downward with harmonic changes.

The introduction ends with a half cadence in C minor.

The theme is introduced in the first four measures in C minor. This part creates a sequence consisting of an antecedent phrase and a consequent phrase. The antecedent phrase moves from the tonic to the dominant chord, while the consequent phrase proceeds in the opposite direction. The repetitive dynamic fp is characteristic of Beethoven’s music, used to create the effect of a sudden reversal. This passage gradually ascends and modulates to G minor in the third measure. Then, it expands and prolongs the motif until another modulation to E♭ major through short and strong rhythms.

The introduction part consists of the first 10 measures of the movement, where the slow and majestic main motif is presented. Three notes moving upward (X) and two notes moving downward (Y) are the key elements of the introduction, playing an important role in maintaining the balance throughout the piece.

The beginning of 'YoungAe and Villagers(영애 동지와 마을 사람들)' sounds similar to the melody of these two bars.
