Composed between 1770 and 1774. The theme of this variation, in 3/4 time, is divided into two sections, each consisting of 10 measures. Upon entering the variations, a technique is employed that appears to interweave rhythmic variations of the theme with variations adapted to harmonic changes. This technique exhibits a tendency to place variations adapted to harmonic changes towards the middle of the entire set of variations. Furthermore, all variations are written in the same key as the theme, E-flat major, and are structured with the same number of measures as the theme.
