G major, 3/4 time.

In addition to the tempo marking, words meaning "somewhat faster than the beginning" are appended. "The beginning" refers to the first movement. Since the theme from the first movement is transferred to this movement, this instruction is given to create a contrast with it.

The piano continuously maintains a running figuration throughout the movement, while the orchestra provides accompaniment and subsidiary melodic passages. As a toccata, the tempo is moderate, and the figural passages assigned to the piano are few, but the repeatedly emphasized f (forte) and accent markings impart an unusual degree of power to the piece.
