Twenty-five chords and sixteen different scales. That's one of the highest scale-per-chord ratios in the library — almost every chord change asks for a fresh decision.
It's short, it has a single section, and so a lot of players treat it as an easy study piece. It passes through eight tonal centres in twenty-five chords. The diminished chord in the third bar already changes everything.
