The opening first theme conveys a strong will and a sense of pride. As confident bass octaves resound, they gain overtones, creating a profound richness, and the piano's capabilities are utilized to their fullest. In contrast, the second theme is a slightly melancholic melody, played sweetly and pastorally. After a joyful and percussive, almost violent development section, it proceeds to a recapitulation with increased volume. Finally, the second theme, marked gaio (joyfully), appears briskly at ff, ascends to fff in octaves in both hands, and concludes majestically amidst excitement.
