Introduzione. Adagio molto, 6/8 time, F major

A dreamlike introduction that seems to ascend from the abyss. From measure 10, a rich melody, evocative of low strings, flows forth, while scale fragments reminiscent of wind instruments are contrapuntally superimposed. From measure 17, the introduction is recapitulated, but interjections appear where rests once were, as if an inner voice has spontaneously burst forth. It continues seamlessly towards the Rondo of the next movement, and light shines forth on the final G. With this G serving as the dominant, it proceeds without a break into the final movement.
