The Andante and Rondo moderato movements performed, attacca, are majestic compositions written in the grand style imitating both orchestral and pianoforte effects. The Andante develops many characteristic features of nineteenth-century guitar writing such as passages in thirds, melodies in the bass with accompanying treble chords, and short episodes of Alberti basses supporting a melodic line. The Rondo in contrast is a showcase of brilliance with fast, catchy melodies, sections of intricate triples and arpeggio patterns, miniature cadenzas, and an accelerating momentum concluding with dramatic coda.
