This is Handel's humorous and delightful Gigue. Since it has a strong optimistic element, it should be played lightly rather than heavily. Therefore, the articulation should ideally include a certain degree of staccato. For instance, the dotted quarter notes that appear consecutively in the left hand at the beginning of both the first and second halves do not necessarily need to be played legato while strictly adhering to their full note values. The articulation in these sections is left to the discretion of the performer.

The recurring D-sharp (dis) and D-natural (d) in both the first and second halves determine the key in those sections to be either A major (A-dur) or E major (E-dur). However, in the second half, which begins at measure 24, just when it seems to settle into A major around measure 33, a D-sharp appears in measure 39, suggesting E major again, only for the D-sharp to change to D-natural in measure 40, immediately returning to A major.

In the second half, measure 29 evokes F-sharp minor (fis-moll), measure 30 evokes B minor (h-moll), and measure 31 presents E major (E-dur), forming a sequence of perfect fifths.

The entire piece is structured in such a way as to subvert or toy with the listener's expectations, and accordingly, dynamics may also be changed abruptly in response to sudden shifts.
