 The opening contains no suggestion of modulation and has no authentic cadences, producing a sense of ambiguity of the tonic.The slow modal sections that follow the opening are centered on E natural, so by the time these slow sections are interrupted by passages in F minor, the use of E natural as a leading tone has been downplayed.In the finale, a V to I progression is avoided entirely, and the bass moves from an F to a D-flat, resembling Dvořák's New World Symphony.
