Compared with other pieces of the same genre, Carmelita features gentler and, at times, more expansive melodies that occasionally evoke the character of a waltz.
The composition follows the tripartite structure typical of many dance pieces. The work opens in B♭ with a short introduction followed by a first section consisting of two repeated episodes: the first is characterized by two closely related thematic ideas, while the second introduces a new musical idea.
After the second section, consisting of the Trio (in B♭), which is bipartite and repeated, the opening section returns.
