No, that's pretty much it.

How I would put it myself is the following:

Bars 20 to 22 are a decorated version of a simple pattern that uses rising
and falling thirds (as does a great deal of K622.) You can see it in this
case by eliminating every second semiquaver, which gives you (concert pitch):

| A B C# A | F# G# A (rest) | F# G# A F# | D E F# (rest) |

| D E F# D | B C# D B | etc.

Now do the same process on this, to get:

| A C# | F# A | F# A | D F# | D F# | B D | etc.

This pattern, of rising thirds falling by thirds, is presented explicitly in
bars 49/52. Bars 20/22 are a decoration of it.

It's best if you play it in the transposed version that appears in bars
108/110, because then you can *hear* that it's the same music.

... I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not so sure.
