C major, 6/8 time, Vivace

The primary technical challenge lies in the double-note passages, particularly sixths and thirds, in the right hand. However, it is not merely intended as an exercise in double notes; the piece also aims for the differentiation of multiple voices within these passages.

Despite being in C major, the music develops with only brief and temporary returns to the tonic chord, quickly spinning out new motives. In measures 33 and 42-43, the cadences are extended, and the return to the tonic chord is executed with caution. In measures 55 and 56, the tension gradually builds towards the subsequent ascending figuration with a hemiola-like rhythm, concluding the piece brilliantly.
