This is a light and elegant minuet. It is divided into two parts: Minuet I and Minuet II.

Minuet I offers many performance options. Articulation is flexible. Ultimately, measures 1-38 must be repeated at least three times. Therefore, when returning to Minuet I from Minuet II, it is permissible to vary the articulation.

Dynamics are also flexible; since Minuet I repeats the same material three times, it would be effective to introduce dynamic variations each time. For example, in measures 33-38, which feature a descending sequence, one could gradually apply a diminuendo to reach the B in the first ending. However, when repeating and proceeding to the second ending, it is also acceptable to apply a crescendo from measure 33 to reach the B in the second ending.

Minuet II becomes thicker in texture, resembling a string ensemble. Here too, it is permissible (and recommended) to vary the dynamics between the first and second iterations of measures 1-8.
