In variation 2 (Example 8.6C), Haydn suddenly shifts to a minor key (note the flats in key the signature) and asks the orchestra to play fortissimo; the full orchestra then develops A, but B is entirely omitted.
Example 8.6C > variation 2 (2:14)
The major (tonic) key returns in variation 3 (Example 8.6D) as the oboe plays the theme in rapid notes the strings then play B (3:56) with oboe and flute ornamenting above.

In the fourth and final variation (Example 8.6E), the strings heavily orna- ment the original melody with running arpeggios; the repeat of B (5:20) is loud and leads to a coda containing reminiscences of the theme in its original form.
