(lively), in G major, signed by both Florestan and Eusebius in the first edition. It begins with a short before the lively main idea (a) enters. That idea twice (a′ and a″), and the contrasting second idea is heard three times (b, b′ and b″). The piece sets the tone with a quotation from a by Clara Wieck.
