C7
Both

Vln. and Vla. play an inverted version of C6 melody, in
CANON
at the unison at a crotchet distance.
Cello plays the other C melody.
Piano doubles the strings.
Big contrast to the previous section:
Much faster and louder.
This section is repeated, getting faster, with double stops added to increase intensity.

retrograde
of F)
