Second Movement: G major, 6/8 time

Although marked "Rondo," it does not strictly follow rondo form.

Following the presentation of the rondo theme, primarily consisting of eighth notes, a G minor theme (from m. 20), accompanied by sixteenth-note Alberti bass, appears. Subsequently, a B-flat major theme (from m. 32), the relative major, appears, and after the G minor theme returns (from m. 68), the opening rondo theme finally reappears (from m. 81).

After the aforementioned B-flat major theme appears in G major (from m. 103), the rondo theme returns once more (from m. 136). In the coda (from m. 149), the movement concludes by repeating the opening motif of the rondo theme.
