There is an alternative slow movement to the Sonata in C minor, G2, which starts with forthright chords from the cello. The first theme leads to a second thematic element, ending the first section of the movement in the key of E flat major. After a repetition of the first section, the cello continues with a transposed version of the opening, developed before the return of the secondary theme. The slow movement follows a pattern similar to other Boccherini Adagios. It is in two sections, the second initially echoing the first, but in the key of E flat major, leading to a final C minor and a solo cadenza. The first repeated section of the closing Allegretto starts with a double-stopped theme that is heard again at the end of a second section that opens with contrasted sustained chords.
