The first movement, in B minor, opens with eight rich, complex chords that outline theharmonic character of the entire movement, and establish a dark, brooding, and passionately intense mood. The first theme is characterized by dotted rhythms and broad upward leaps, supported by a turbulent piano accompaniment. This opening theme issucceeded by a contrasting theme with a more lyrical character, which in turn leads to a very expressive closing theme built over a pedal. The form unfolds, culminating in a climax featuring the dotted rhythm motive. The movement ends with a verysoft but rhythmically intense
