First, let's begin with an analysis of the theme. For measures 1-4, determine which measure is dynamically louder or softer than the others, and assign dynamic levels to these four measures. Similarly, assign dynamic levels to the latter four measures.

Not limited to this variation, simply playing exactly as written in the score will result in a truly uninteresting performance. One characteristic of Handel's variations is that the tension tends to increase as one approaches the final variation. In many cases, as the variations progress, the note values become smaller, and fast passages appear.

Considering this, although Variation 1 and Variation 5, which is the final variation, are both primarily written with 16th notes, given the aforementioned tendency of variations, it is desirable to increase the tension in Variation 5 more than in Variation 1. Dynamically, Variation 5 should also be louder.

Another point concerns repetitions. There is nothing more uninteresting than a performance that simply repeats the exact same thing twice. Let's try to introduce some kind of change (e.g., balance, dynamics, articulation).
