Second Movement: D major, 3/4 time
This is a slow movement in the style of a string quartet, primarily based on four-part writing, employing rondo form.
The first couplet (from m. 19) shifts to the parallel minor, B minor. Following the return of the rondo theme (m. 32), the second couplet (from m. 50) is introduced in the tonic key of D major. However, the subsequent return of the rondo theme (from m. 58) is in the tonic minor, D minor. In the return in the tonic key (from m. 68), the register is raised by an octave, and changes are introduced in the inner voices.
