The second movement is an Adagio in 3/4 time and E major. It is noteworthy that it is written in a key a semitone higher than that of the first movement. The movement is in ternary form, with the middle section (from bar 19) written in the parallel minor, E minor. Furthermore, G major also makes an appearance within this middle section. A characteristic feature is the presence of ascending scales, written in an ornamental style, in various places.
