Composed between 1779 and 1780. It consists of three movements.

First Movement

The first movement, in E-flat major, is in Allegro moderato and 4/4 time. The opening theme begins with a scale in the tonic key descending by one octave. Such scalar motion is frequently observed throughout this movement. In the development section (from m. 29), a transitional passage characterized by repeated notes is first treated, followed by the opening theme. The second theme (from m. 19) is not present here. In the recapitulation (from m. 49), a fermata is placed between the first theme and the transitional passage treated in the development section. From the recapitulation of the second theme (from m. 66) onwards, it is faithfully reproduced from the exposition by means of transposition.

Second Movement

The second movement, Adagio, is in 6/8 time and primarily consists of alternating sections in C minor and its relative major, E-flat major, which is the same key as the first movement. Both sections, regardless of key, are characterized by ascending leaping figures. The concluding section of this movement repeats the first inversion of the E-flat major tonic chord, places a fermata on its final note, and then leads attacca into the next movement.

Third Movement

The third movement, Finale, is in Allegro and 3/4 time, in E-flat major. It is written in ternary form, and the opening theme is accompanied by bass notes in the left hand, doubled in octaves. In the middle section (from m. 29), it modulates to A-flat major. Subsequently, a da capo repeats the initial section exactly, bringing the movement to a close.
