The final movement, Allegro molto vivace caps the work in suitably imposing fashion: ostensibly another sequence of dance-like episodes, it is informed by a cumulative energy which sees its initial idea reappearing as though a structural refrain; around this, the intervening episodes generate a cumulative intensity sustained through to the climactic return of the main theme. This has itself been anticipated with a passage of starkly evocative writing that increases in virtuosity and velocity, surging on with a majestic outpouring of emotion which concludes this singular work in a mood of coursing defiance.
