The very brief recapitulation begins with the trumpet stating the secondary theme while the piano plays the accompaniment from the principal theme. The recapitulation begins and ends in C major, the original tonic of the movement. The principal theme's melody is not restated. Movement II - Dolce-espressivo The A theme (mm. 1-29) of this traditional ABA' form begins with muted trumpet in F major over arpeggiated chords. When the piano picks up the melody in mm. 5-13, the arpeggios continue in the left hand while the right hand plays tonally separate block chords, suggesting a brief period of bitonality. This theme is inherently sequential (See Example 8), a quality exploited in the ensuing altered restatement (mm. 14-29). con sordino Example 8 - Antheil Movement II, mm. 1-4 - Opening of Theme A (trumpet). Following a transition analogous in style to the chaotic transitions of the first movement, the B theme (mm. 38-49) begins in C major (the dominant of theme A's F major). Theme B has a similar character to Theme A, and it also frequently uses the rhythm -.. However, Theme B is very simplistic, consisting only of a two-measure idea (See Example 9) that is repeated, sequenced down a semitone and then repeated
