Third Movement: Presto

F minor, 2/4 time. The main theme is in unison, evoking an image of someone continuing to walk despite flowing tears. Its poignancy stems from its brave and strong demeanor. The 16-bar main theme, in its subsequent repetition, appears an octave higher, with slight melodic variations, accompanied by an Alberti bass in the left hand. The subordinate theme (from m. 33) is in A-flat major, followed by a lengthy codetta spanning 30 measures from m. 45 onwards. Subsequently, the main theme reappears in a varied form, which might lead one to mistake it for the development section; however, this is in fact the recapitulation, as the development section is omitted. The main theme, which occupied 32 measures in the exposition (including its repetition), is condensed to a mere 10 measures in the recapitulation. In contrast, the subordinate theme and subsequent material are recapitulated in their complete form in F minor.
