There are two important points:

• Tempo Consistency: First, maintain a consistent tempo as much as possible. Avoid extreme tempo variations between sections; strive for a unified tempo. Of course, the aim is not a metronomic performance, and subtle tempo differences are natural. However, avoid playing at such disparate tempos that the listener loses the beat; always maintain a sense of counting in four.
• Strict Observance of Rests: Next, observe rests strictly. For example, in measures 5-8, an eighth rest is written for the right hand on the fourth beat of each measure. While some performances might mistakenly make this sound like a quarter note, it is written as an eighth note. Therefore, sustain the note for its full eighth-note duration (in this case, play this eighth note quite lightly and softly), and then observe the subsequent eighth rest. In measure 13, the bass C in the left hand on the first beat is written as an eighth note, followed by an eighth rest. Observe such rests as well. From the off-beat of the first beat of this measure, the instrumentation changes. At that point, the bass must be completely absent.

For the overall tempo, choose a speed at which the right-hand trill on the third beat of measure 2 can be played comfortably, without accelerating the tempo to the point where it becomes a virtuosic trill. Since the movement itself is calm, light, and joyful, avoid creating an agitato mood that might arise from a faster tempo.
