Movements[]
I. Moderato
- E minor
- Harald Krebs has noted the use of Charles Fisk's "search for thematic identity" in his discussion of the sonata's opening theme.[1]
II. Allegretto
- E major
III. Scherzo: Allegro vivace - Trio
- A-flat major
(IV. Rondo: Allegretto, D 506)
- E major
- D 506 has been associated with the last piece of Fünf Klavierstücke (D 459A/3) and the Adagio D 349 too as a set of movements that might form a sonata.[2]
The work takes approximately 20 minutes to perform or 25–30 minutes with the rondo finale.
