site. The bridge continues with a sequence of similar rythymic and directional figures, but the tonality sounds like modulation. While there is no real modulation to another solid key, there are secondary dominants. The bridges of the exposition are the same length (six measures) but the only nearly identical figure is in the last measure of the bridge: the I-V movement from beat one to beat two, and the implied tonicization of C using a ‘b’ natural in the pickups to the second theme. There is a major difference this time, though. The ‘b’ natural is quickly negated by a ‘Bb’ in the continuing pickups. This sets up the second theme to be in F rather than C. So the second theme occurs transposed to F but without much other deviance from the exposition. The second theme, however, is followed by something very unusual; a five measure developement and variation of the second theme similar to the three measure rounding off in the exposition but unique enough that it cannot be called a simple rounding off. The closing material then enters with little variation other than the transposition to F. The two scale figures (formerly d melodic minor and G major in the exposition, g melodic minor and C major here) end on a viio on beat one and are followed by a weak V65 on beats two and three, which prepare for the final cadence. But since the dominant chord is weak, the ending is not fully prepared and there is another two measure codetta to round off to the final cadence: a strong V7-I with a pedal F that moves down an octave at the resolution of the upper staff. ...
