This Allemande, characteristic of Handel, allows one to feel a 'pleasant persistence.' While the author does not perceive a serious atmosphere, that aspect is left to the performer's discretion.

The first half is composed of three keys: C minor, E-flat major, and G minor. At measure 8, there is a cadence in E-flat major, and at measure 16, a Picardy third in G minor. Please perform so as to differentiate the timbre and atmosphere of each of the three keys.

The second half also feels as if it begins from the dominant of C minor. There are also rapid sequences, and it hints at F minor, B-flat major, and G minor. At measure 30, it is analyzed as a Neapolitan sixth in C minor, and it concludes in C minor.

While it may not be said that the second half fully modulates to these keys, for example, please differentiate the expression between measures 17-18 and measures 19-20, and in any case, perform so that it does not become monotonous.
