Second Movement, G major, 3/4 time

The theme of the third movement of the Septet, Op. 20, and the minuet theme of this movement are based on the same material. It does not have repeat signs, and the movement's structure is rondo-like.

After the minuet theme, characterized by an anacrusis with a dotted rhythm, a transition via scale passages leads to the appearance of a graceful theme in the dominant key (D major) (from m. 28). Led by a series of dotted rhythms, the minuet theme returns (from m. 48).

After a fanfare-like theme appears in the subdominant key (C major), the minuet theme returns again, and the repetition of the theme's dotted rhythm and descending second interval elements forms the coda, bringing the movement to a close.
