It is merely the second part of a longer piece. Composers will often break up a very long piece into shorter sections. Sometimes a different variation on the original theme can mean a 2nd (or more) movements in a piece. For performances at times, a small group might play just the 2nd or 3rd movement from a piece for sake of time constraints - church organists have to do this all the time as seldom will any parishioner sit still for a 17 minute long piece.
