It has a simple A-A-B-B musical form :

Measures 1-8 : Phrase A (played twice) in the main key of G minor
Measures 9-20 : Phrase B (played twice) beginning in the relative key of B flat Major and modulating back to G minor in measure 14

The use of the title Impertinence is a rare instance of a programmatic title in Handel's work.

Although originally composed for the harpsichord, this bourrée can very well be played on the piano.

In accordance with Baroque performance practice, remember that unslurred quarter notes should be played slightly detached, especially in the left hand.
