The second movement, Allegro molto e vivace, is in C minor and 3/4 time, and like the preceding movement, is in ternary form. This movement possesses the character of a scherzo, and its middle section modulates to A-flat major, the sixth degree above the tonic. This modulation to a key outside the closely related keys, along with the fact that the entire sonata is played attacca, can be said to reflect Beethoven's anticipation of Romantic tendencies.
