Second Movement: E major, 4/4 time, Romance

After a 12-bar introduction in an imitative style by the string ensemble, the theme appears played by the solo piano. Throughout the movement, the string ensemble is solely dedicated to providing harmonic accompaniment, while the piano part takes on the character of a nocturne-like solo piece.

The movement continues with the second theme appearing in the dominant key, followed by the return of the main theme with beautiful ornamentation, and a virtuosic development of the second theme in the relative key. The movement concludes as the theme played by the string ensemble is adorned by improvisatory passages of chromatic scales and arpeggios from the solo piano.
