each entrance. The form of this rondo is A1–B1–A2–C–A3–B2–A4–Coda. The C section, in the parallel minor A minor, is rather agitated and stormy in comparison to the rest of the work, and is representative of the so-called "Sturm und Drang" style. A simple but elegant V7–I perfect cadence closes the entire work in the lower register, played piano. A typical performance lasts about 22 minutes.
