Marked Andante moderato espressivo, the movement opens pianissimo with a sustained bass-register melody in mm. 1–4. Chordal replies and changes between lower and upper registers develop the idea in mm. 5–16. Rising arpeggiated figures add breadth in mm. 17–20, before a quieter chordal exchange in mm. 21–24. Measures 25–33 alternate lower-hand flourishes, repeated chords and increasingly high ascending lines. An extended exchange of running figures fills m. 34, followed by a descending paired-note passage in m. 35. A gentler dialogue in mm. 36–40 leads to high-register descending figures and lower-register replies in mm. 41–45. The ascent in m. 46 opens another broad descent in m. 47. Measures 48–60 recall the contrasting chordal and flowing textures, with renewed accents and upward flourishes. The opening bass-register idea returns pianissimo in mm. 61–64; sustained notes, repeated accompaniment tones and trills shape the quieter continuation in mm. 65–69. The fermata in m. 70 prepares the final cadenza-like flourish and closing response in m. 71.
