Third Movement: C Major, 2/4 time, Rondo Form

The rondo theme is characterized by a motif where the upper voice descends by a leap of a third in double thirds, imitated by the lower voice. These 'double thirds' are used throughout and are considered a learning objective in this movement. The motif of double thirds from the rondo theme appears in the couplet theme in the dominant key of G major, and in the middle section which modulates to the parallel minor of A minor.

As described above, an analysis of this sonata from the perspective of a pedagogical work reveals that each movement contains specific learning objectives, and the piece is structured to allow for their thorough assimilation.
