Perlman & Kissin III. Presto: "Kreutzer" Sonata No.9 in A Major Op.47 Beethoven

III. Presto, A major
The calm is broken by a crashing A major chord in the piano, ushering in the virtuosic and exuberant third movement, a 6/8 tarantella in sonata form. After moving through a series of slightly contrasting episodes, the theme returns for the last time, and the work ends jubilantly in a rush of A major.
