A two- opens the way for a simple, graceful melody in A-flat major (A), which is then repeated. In the B section the mood darkens: the music moves to F minor, the beat changes to 12/8, and the stormy passage is heard again a semitone higher. The melody (A) with passion, and in its second the music slowly settles and ends softly.
