How many pieces of music can you recall where rests are written on the downbeat or the first beat? For example, Chopin's Op. 10, No. 9 in F minor, or Liszt's Transcendental Étude No. 10. When notes are absent where they should be, even if you can feel the first beat, doesn't it create a very unstable sensation? Incidentally, both of the pieces cited as examples have the marking "agitato." This means that this third movement is also a very "restless" piece. Considering such a restless psychological depiction, in an opera, it could be interpreted as a scene where someone is very worried and panicking on stage.
In contrast, when modulating to the parallel major, A major, please change the color and create a different world. In this case, you may slightly reduce the tempo to an unnoticeable degree.
For this piece, never drag the tempo; always move forward. And even if "p" or "pp" is written, play with the maximum sense of tension.

In a rapid tempo (Presto), a motif consisting of a dotted quarter note and an eighth note dominates the entire movement. The middle section (from bar 143) shifts to the parallel major, but here too, the opening motif dominates the music.
