A free three-part form, incorporating development. It begins with a Maestoso introduction, where the opening G-G#-A anticipates a theme that appears later. The theme is based on D major and, after some development, leads to the middle theme, which is also in D major. Following the return of the theme, a development section based on the pitch series of the first movement's theme ensues. Subsequently, even the second theme of the first movement makes an appearance. The movement concludes with a Presto, followed by an extensive coda.
