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

An Adagio slow movement. The melodic line, depicting descending and ascending arpeggiated chords, suggests an affinity with the main theme of the first movement. After an episode in C minor, the theme returns, and this time an episode in A-flat major appears. With the appearance of G-flat, suggesting E-flat minor, the theme returns via the dominant chord. Notably, just before this second return of the theme, the Neue Mozart-Ausgabe suggests the insertion of an Eingang.
