Symphony No.62 in D major, Hob. I:62

The finale opens piano with ambiguous tonality for the first six measures before the full tutti firmly establishes D major forte in the seventh bar. The finale proceeds in Italian style. The second theme group contains Lombard rhythms which are worked extensively in the development. The ambiguous tonality returns for the six measures of the recapitulation, this time accentuated by counterpoint, before D major returns and symphony drives towards its conclusion.
