EX 168

This theme is followed by thirty variations and a coda. The chaconne feature is found in the establishment and retention of a series of harmonies, the passacaglia aspect in the recurrence, sometimes in varied or embellished form, of the thematic melody which is the uppermost part of the theme.

A sonata-allegro character is imparted to this movement by the restatement of the theme as Variation 16 (meas. 129-137) and the altered recurrence of earlier variations after this restatement. Thus, Variation 24 (meas. 193-200) is similar to Variation I (meas. 9-16) ; Variation 25 (meas. 201-208) is similar to Variation 2 (meas. 17-24) ; Variation 26 (meas. 209-217) to Variation 3 (meas. 25-32).
