Second Movement: A-flat major, 4/4 time

A lyrical movement composed prior to the first and third movements. According to the composer's own statements, it was composed with Konstancja in mind, whom he then called his "ideal person."

Following a brief introduction by the string ensemble, a nocturne-like theme is sung by the solo piano.

Throughout the movement, the solo piano sings the melody, employing various embellishments. Finally, the theme from the introduction returns, bringing the movement to a close.
