2. Largo

3. Scherzo. Allegro vivace

4. Finale. Allegro molto moderato

First, the Allegro piece is begun with a lyrical melody with dotted rhythms that's reminiscent of the Hungarian style.


Second, The second movement is begun with an angry , somewhat dramatic fortissimo theme in F # minor.


Third, Following up the agitated second movement in F # minor, the third movement scherzo is a bright, lively movement in the same key


Fourth, Finale movement begins to change back the primary theme of the first movement in both F minor and F major, and it's transitioning into a fugue that is based on its second theme.
