The B section is contrapuntal, with a singular theme somewhat based on the A section motif, and beginning with a fugue-like opening. This is developed at length and then winds down, leading to a short restatement of the A section and an even shorter restatement of the B section. The movement finishes with a playfully modified version of the A section in D major, ending on a single tonic note tutti. As all of the movements have the same tonic, the work is homotonal.
