It is completely diatonic. And it is nothing short of a miracle that Beethoven could come up with such an important and memorable line that stays completely within a diatonic fifth, with only an occasional dip to a fourth below the tonic. This refers only to the basic statement of the melody itself. The movement contains a great deal of chromatic richness. How did Beethoven do it? If he were around, he might be able to do it again, and pull out of 5 or 6 simple notes something magnificent that no one else has the wits to uncover.
