- 1Slow introductionIntroductions were unusual in piano sonatas, though Haydn’s symphonies of the time often contained them. The music hereis at a solemn gravetempo(pronounced ‘grahvay’) –very slow. There is a distinctive six-note motif (short melodic idea) in homophonictextureat the start. This motif is used throughout the introduction in different textures and keys. Sometimes the first note is left out, and sometimes the second last note rises to the final noteinstead of descending. The introductionalso contains rapid scalic flourishes, and ends with a long descending chromatic scale. The music is in the key of C minor, modulating brieflyto the relative major key of E♭.There is constant dynamic contrasthere and in the rest of the piece, with frequent use of fortepiano (loud, then immediately soft) and sforzando (sudden loud accent on an individual note or chord).
- 2Exposition First subject Bars 11–50The expositionis marked Allegro di molto e con brio (very fast and with vigour). The firstsubjecttheme in C minor(tonic) rises mainly scalicallya distance of two octaves–over a tonic pedal in the bass.The music is marked with staccato –meaningdetached (separate) notes. A subsidiary theme begins at bar 27and features sforzandos and descending arpeggios.A transition based on the main theme –using sequences begins at bar 35 and modulates towards the expected key of E♭major through dominant preparation.
- 3Second subject Bars 51–132The secondsubjectbegins in the unexpected key of E♭minor. The theme features a distinctive acciaccatura ornament and hand-crossingtechnique, where the right hand moves down over the left hand to play four staccatonotes, before returning. The theme continues with a stepwise descendingphrase featuring mordents.A new theme begins in bar 89in the relative major keyof E♭. It has a new broken chordtexture. There is a crescendo while the hands move in contrary motion.Finally, a third theme begins at bar 113. This makes much use of scalicmelody. It reinforces the new E♭majorkey. This final section can also be called a codetta (short rounding-off section).The whole exposition is then repeated.
- 4Development Bars 133–194The developmentbegins with four bars of the introduction material,now in the dominant key of G minor. This is a very unusual structural feature.The allegrothen introduces the main firstsubject theme in the unrelatedkey of E minor. Fragments of the theme are heard in the bass from bar 149.
Long dominant preparationbegins at bar 167 where the dominant note G is played in rapid alternating octaves in the bass as a pedal.A passage of trillsleads to a descending monophonic quaver passage in the right hand. - 5Recapitulation Bars 195–294
