Unusually, the second movement is written in the parallel minor (A minor), rather than the relative minor (F♯ minor) or another closely related key.[1][failed verification]
The autograph dates to around the 1730s (debated) and is incomplete; there are 46 bars missing.[2] Reconstructions by various authors exist.
