It is typical for Emilie Mayer to defy expectations, to experiment with form in a certain passage or in one of the movements. In this case, the opportunity presents itself to allude to the subsequent
fugue by means of the canon – in other words, to build a bridge in the compositional structure so that the fugue is formally linked with the other movements. After all, a fugue is an unusual
choice for a final movement – not least in thematic units of 5 bars.
