A fast in G major, marked . The is the rising-triad tune with its quick sixteenth-note figures, and it keeps coming back: after the first , and again after the second. From the last the piece runs on for a long stretch in which the is varied chromatically, broken into and driven along by running passages, before the full near the end.
