This is a fast triple-meter movement. Within this, the keys present without considering harmonic sequences are d minor, F major, and g minor, modulating in this order, with d minor returning at the end. Performers should apply appropriate dynamics and tone quality to each key, ensuring that the atmosphere of each section differs. For example, the highest note in this Allegro is the D in the right hand on the first beat of measure 13. This point has already modulated to F major. If F major, which is the relative major of d minor, is considered a softer and gentler key compared to d minor, then playing this D softly and gently would be more consistent.

Ascending sequences, such as those in measures 9-11 and 38-40, are effective when played with a crescendo. When the same idea is repeated twice in two-measure units, as in measures 25-28 (though strictly speaking, the notes in measures 26 and 28 differ), instead of playing them at the same dynamic level, make one louder and the other softer.
