The movement contrasts homophonic sections with fugal development. The recapitulation features both fugal subjects concurrently. It often featured rapid runs and arpeggios alternating with chordal or fugal parts. The musical structure of this piece uses fugal imitation and much counterpoint. The fugal overture leads attacca to the first choral movement. Keyboard suites from this time often conclude with a fugal gigue. Rachmaninoff had great command of counterpoint and fugal writing, thanks to his studies with Taneyev. This second theme is later revealed to be a counterpoint to the original fugal subject. The exposition of the finale of Bruckner's Fifth Symphony begins with a fugal exposition. The hybridization of sonata form and fugal elements is a hallmark of this movement. A stretto is heard in measure 52 based on the second fugal theme. The French overture featured a quick fugal section after a slow introduction. The third movement is in sonata form, with a fugal development. It is more of a sonata movement with very substantial fugal sections, however. Like other "late period" sonatas, it contains fugal elements.
