# Maestoso — Allegro # Adagio, ma non troppo e molto cantabile # Scherzando Vivace # ''Finale'' (without tempo marking, but with a coda marked Allegro con moto) The first movement is interrupted several times — just before the development of the Sonata Form begins, and when that section is almost but not quite over — by the Maestoso which opened the work. The second, slow movement is a set of variations. The Scherzo 's Trio is a '' Presto '' of a kind Beethoven did not use very often, though it is similar in sound and phrasing to some of his Bagatelles from the contemporary opus 126 set.
