The finale plays games with three hammerstrokes (tonic–dominant–tonic) which begin the exposition and are worked extensively in the development. The three chords also serve as the movement's final cadence, confusing listeners into thinking that more will follow. This ambiguity is enhanced if the second part of the movement is repeated.
