The theme is now stated in a modified manner while the soloist exudes a moving obbligato line which adds more excitement to the piece. The piece concludes with the latter section of the first section and then settles into a solemn repose.

This solo with piano begins with a bold march statement with an elongated rhythm of the melody. The middle section is more expressive while the final section imitates the beginning, with a solid statement of faith.
