The last movement has a jolly melody for the main theme, played very fast, again based on scales. Beethoven most likely composed this concerto in 1784, when he was still in Bonn. [1]
An extended sixteenth note accompaniment is offset by a three note reoccurring melodic germ in the right hand. The prelude is a serially reoccurring set of repetitions and variations. Measures 1–9 establish the theme – a parallel period with a cadence in G minor – that continues throughout the piece.
