Mikrokosmos Vol. 3 (30), Sz. 107/3 is divided into three movements. The first movement is marked "Allegro moderato" and is in 2/4 time.

Bartók was known for his interest in folk music, and he incorporated elements of Hungarian folk music into many of his compositions. In this piece, the syncopated rhythm and the use of octaves in the third movement are reminiscent of Hungarian folk music. Another characteristic of the piece is its use of progressive techniques. The Mikrokosmos collection was designed to be a progressive series of piano pieces that would help students develop their technique and musicality. Mikrokosmos Vol. 3 (30), Sz. 107/3 is no exception, as it features a variety of technical challenges, including syncopation, octave playing, and hand independence.
