. Loud and soft alternate from the first : three forceful chords, then a soft rising , followed by marching fanfares. Silences interrupt the several times, and a stormy outburst in C minor breaks in. The tune of the is a folk-like dance based on 'Un bacio di mano', K. 541, an that Mozart wrote to insert into another composer's opera. The begins by moving to E-flat, and a soft in F major comes before the real of the in C.
