In the left hand there are triplets and that triplets contains the melody.

left hand plays octaves and the right hand plays triplets to accompany that
octaves.
Throughouth the exposition part triplets are the most used rhytm. Sometimes the left hand
has triole and the right hand has melody or vice versa and sometimes both of
them have triplet.
In the 320th measure, there is a different melody but I
think it is not a theme it is just a bridge that takes us to the end of the
movement.
Eventually, in the 336th measure coda stars and it imitates
the first movement.
In the second reprise it is modulated to A flat major.

represented in different shapes.
