this last movement is in sonata rondo form, in 6/8, in our home key of e-flat major.
this movement alternates between rolling and rollicking. it starts off lovely and graceful, but then has short outbursts of virtuosity with lots of sixteenth note runs for everyone.
development at 2:30 with the entrance of the viola. starts as the beginning, but very quickly modulates to several other keys, hinting for a while at g major, but bypassing it to continue around the circle of fifths in on of the explosions of sixteenths, ending finally at 3:35 in a dovetail into part of the exposition.
4:50 is the true recap, though, and the galloping part is the beginning of a coda which will bring the whole work to a grand close.
more will be added to this entry once i actually study this piece and get a clue as to this movement, but i couldn't leave the last movement hanging :) enjoy.
