As mentioned in the performance tips for the first movement, when considering the entire sonata as a programmatic sonata and also taking into account the third movement, I believe this second movement can still be relatively subdued. While the third movement becomes very active and dynamic, this second movement should be played with a slight restraint in anticipation of it.

Physically, avoid producing excessive forte. Even when 'forte' is indicated, do not produce excessive volume, and aim for a soft, rather than mechanical, sound quality. There are many dotted rhythms, which can lead to stiffness; therefore, instead of very sharp dots, almost approaching double dots, play with a slightly looser rhythmic tendency, and above all, gently.

When transitioning from Minuet 1 to Minuet 2, and when returning to Minuet 1 via D.C., avoid creating unnecessary pauses and do not interrupt the musical flow. Proceed directly into the next section.

If the first movement is a highly expressive aria, consider this a minuet full of anticipation, where a slightly optimistic tendency begins to emerge.
