The first movement is in 3/4 time, and all themes are presented in F major. It is marked "In tempo d'un Menuetto," and can be interpreted as either rondo form or sonata form, but is irregular in either case. A characteristic feature is that all themes are presented in F major. If interpreted as sonata form, the first theme, which has the character of a minuet, and the second theme, presented in octaves, contrast in terms of dynamics, motif length, and register used, with the first theme varying widely and the second theme remaining largely constant.
