Largo Section

The Largo section is influenced by the French Overture; therefore, emphasize majestic, sharp dotted rhythms and perform with a sense of improvisation. Determine peak points and aim for a performance with clear direction. While this is the author's personal view, one approach is to consider the half cadence in measure 20 as a peak point.

Presto Section

In the Presto section, weighty chords are performed with sharp rhythms at a fast tempo. Again, from a personal perspective, rather than employing the pedal to create a smooth, horizontally flowing line in this section, an alternative approach could be to play the dotted rhythms lightly, dryly, and with staccato, without using the pedal. This is because when comparing instruments of that era with modern instruments, performing these weighty chords with dotted rhythms at a fast tempo on a modern instrument inevitably leads to increased volume and a heavy sound. It would be appropriate to remove the pedal and aim for a leggiero (light) quality.
