timpani and Strings. “The work is in eight movements, including three minuets, two slow movements, two full sonata-form movements, and a sizable central rondo. There are remarkably few real melodies in the work, just juxtapositions of texture and tonality that are often humorous when done right. There is an opening March in D major that might easily have opened the evening 's festivities, and the entire performance captures the curious mix of pomp and irrepressible wit that makes this work…
3.3 Piano Figuration 3.3.1 Use of Percussive Figuration Prokofiev first used percussive figuration in Sarcasms Op. 17 and Toccata Op. 11 written in the same year. At the beginning of Sarcasms, the Tempestoso is depicted by the percussive introduction.

exposition, and Beethoven does so by weaving the two themes together and elaborating on each. The recapitulation again features each of the themes, one entering at 4:40 and one at 5:30. However, an important feature of sonata-allegro relates to the tonality of the themes; while the two themes typically have different home keys in the exposition, the second theme takes on the tonic key of the first theme in the recapitulation.
