This movement is indeed an aria. Imagine a female singer continuously singing. Consider the right-hand melody line as the vocal part, and make this line stand out while maintaining balance. The theme, for example, begins with the same note, C C C C, in measure 1. Ensure these four identical notes are never played at the same volume; impart direction to them (creating a sense of moving towards the B on the third beat) to avoid flatness. Subsequent occurrences of the same theme should be treated similarly.

The performer should engage their imagination to consider what kind of song the singer is performing. It is not profound, nor is it overly emotional; rather, consider it an everyday, optimistic song. For instance, regarding the lyrics in measure 9, consider that measure 10 conveys the exact same message but with a different nuance or manner of expression.

Use the pedal throughout to ensure the left-hand arpeggios flow smoothly. However, for measures such as 7-8, where continuous pedaling would create muddiness, use less pedal or change it more frequently.
