(Fourth Movement) D major, 6/8 time, Rondo
The finale is in rondo-sonata form. The rondo theme is striking, appearing over an ostinato-like figure where the tonic note intermittently appears in the bass. After a transitional passage of sixteenth-note arpeggios (from m. 17), a new theme appears in the dominant key of A major (from m. 29). The rhythm that constitutes this A major theme is derived from the ostinato figure in the bass voice of the rondo theme. Following a transitional passage of sixteenth-note arpeggios and tremolos (from m. 43), the rondo theme returns (from m. 52). In the middle section, the ostinato rhythm of the rondo theme's bass voice and the tied rhythm in the upper voice are developed (from m. 67).
After a passage of sixteenth-note arpeggios and tremolos, the rondo theme returns (from m. 114). From this point, the recapitulation begins, and the previous A major theme appears in the tonic key of D major (from m. 145).
In the coda (from m. 169), the ostinato figure first appears pianissimo in the subdominant key of G major. As it is developed and repeated, leading to a fortissimo, fragmentary arpeggio figures appear. Finally, the tempo increases to Piu Allegro quasi Presto, and brilliant sixteenth-note passages unfold over the bass ostinato of the rondo theme, bringing the movement to a close.
