Third Movement: Finale. Presto, A-flat major, 2/4 time. Sonata form.
A rapid movement befitting a finale. Both themes feature intricate sixteenth-note figures, maintaining their momentum until the very end.

First, while "Presto" is indicated, the composer's score further specifies quarter note = 132. I have actually played it at this tempo, and it indeed seems to be a reasonable tempo. To play intricate notes such as the turn in measure 8 without strain, it is advisable not to set a faster tempo than this. Consequently, while the piece may not feel overtly "Presto" when listened to, this tempo is likely the maximum achievable.
A characteristic feature of this third movement is the alternating appearance of forte and piano. Therefore, it is crucial to clearly differentiate between these forte and piano sections. Imagine an ensemble where sections with a large number of instruments and sections with a small number of instruments play alternately.
Maintain a precise tempo, as close to a metronome as possible, without any fluctuations or unnecessary pauses. Elements such as rallentando, fermata, or tenuto markings, which are found in the first and second movements, do not appear at all in this movement. Proceed steadily and joyfully, without slackening the tempo until the very end.
