The second movement, "In der Stadt" (In the City), is a more complex and sophisticated piece that captures the bustling energy of urban life. The third movement, "Am Brunnen" (At the Well), is a gentle and contemplative piece that depicts a scene of people gathering water from a well.

The fifth movement, "Im Theater" (At the Theater), is a dramatic and theatrical piece that captures the excitement and spectacle of a night at the theater. The final movement, "Auf dem Jahrmarkt" (At the Fair), is a lively and festive piece that evokes the sights and sounds of a bustling fairground. Overall, Auf dem Land und in der Stadt is a charming and evocative musical composition that captures the essence of both rural and urban life in 18th century Germany.
