K. 76, 3/8 Presto, 2:30 (including repeats)

While a consistent rhythm and thematic correspondence between sections contribute to a sense of unity, the overall structure of the work can hardly be described as regular or stable. Could the imbalanced phrase structures observed throughout, the tendency to avoid perfect cadences at formal divisions (e.g., measures 6, 35), and the interruption of standardized harmonic rhythm with the insertion of unpredictable free voice leading (measures 8-11) not be measures taken to avoid complete stability and ensure fluidity?
