Third Movement

E major, 2/2 time, Rondo

An octave theme is presented over a triplet accompaniment. After a transition characterized by rapid stepwise descending figures and the crossing of four voices, a new theme is presented in B major. This theme is characterized by intervallic features such as a descending leap of a perfect octave and a diminished fourth, and an ascending interval of a minor second and a perfect fourth.

After the opening theme returns in the tonic minor, it modulates to its relative major, G major. Here, the triplets, which previously served as the theme's accompaniment figure, become prominent, and a transitional passage follows. The note B, the third scale degree, is prolonged, and through this, the two themes are recapitulated in B major. Subsequently, the opening theme develops as a coda, bringing the movement to a close.
