Piano Sonata in F, Episode 5

The recapitulation starts with the first nine bars of the first subject, then restates the antecedent (bars 149-157) in F rather than C. The transition to the second subject (bars 158-163) is in C as a bridge to the lyrical second subject in G, which is simplified compared to the exposition. The lyrical melody repeats (in C) in the bass, doubled, with simple open chords in the treble. The coda recalls the introduction, rising to a concluding, fading repeated A. Click here for audio.
