The third movement begins with a three-part Adagio con espressione (in A-flat major, 3/4 time) that functions as an introduction, followed by an Allegro vivace in rondo-sonata form (in E-flat major, 2/4 time). The former Adagio, though only 25 measures long, modulates to the dominant key in its middle section and can be regarded as an independent movement. Subsequently, in the coda of the ensuing Allegro vivace in rondo-sonata form, the main theme of the Adagio is recalled.
