6/32 This ends the Exposition. Such coincidences merely confirm the unbroken line of evolution, and are to be expected in the system of legitimate, rational music designs. The RECAPITULATION (the original _da capo_) follows, beginning with the _Principal Theme_, B-flat major, as before (21-28) but somewhat embellished. Again, there is no Transition. (Here the similarity to the First Rondo ends.) _Subordinate Theme_, corresponds very closely to the former version, but transposed to B-flat major, the principal key, and variated (29-39). |
