It is believed to have been composed by 1788. It consists of three movements.

First Movement

The first movement, in F major, is in Moderato, 3/4 time. Throughout the movement, scalar motion is characteristic. The first theme is written using a technique where scalar motions played alternately by the left and right hands converge into one. The second theme (from m. 15) is based on parallel motion by both hands. In the development section (from m. 33), the first theme is treated first, followed by the second theme, leading to the recapitulation (from m. 55). In the concluding section of this movement, the scalar motion, which was characteristic throughout this sonata movement, is superimposed in octaves.

Second Movement

The second movement, Larghetto, is in 6/8 time and in F minor, the parallel minor of the first movement. It is written in ternary form, but its tonal design adheres to the normative sonata form. Furthermore, in the middle section (from m. 20), instead of entirely new material, the opening theme is developed in A-flat major, its relative major. The movement concludes with a fermata on the dominant chord of F minor, followed by an attacca into the next movement.

Third Movement

The third movement, Allegro, is in 2/4 time and in F major, the same key as the first movement. Since it is in the parallel major of the preceding second movement, the concluding section of the second movement and the beginning of this movement form a dominant-to-tonic progression. This movement is written with a relatively free conception, not strictly adhering to a specific form, yet it closely resembles sonata form. Considering it in terms of sonata form, in the development section (from m. 50), the first theme is treated first, followed by the second theme (from m. 62). In the recapitulation (from m. 86), the first theme is modified, and a part of it is presented in the parallel minor.
