This is a highly enjoyable and vibrant third movement. Similar to the first movement, this movement should be performed by maintaining a consistent tempo throughout, avoiding variations in different sections, and continuously counting in 3/4 time. Furthermore, strict adherence to rests is essential. Particular attention should be paid to maintaining the beat in monophonic passages, such as measures 41-42 or 107-110, and in measures where the left-hand accompaniment sustains notes, potentially leading to rhythmic stagnation.

Additional Considerations

  • A crucial aspect to consider is directionality. In passages where material repeats multiple times, it is desirable to imbue them with a sense of progression, conveying a feeling of moving towards a specific point. For instance, in measures 65-68, the identical material recurs for four measures. Rather than executing this with a uniform dynamic level, incorporating directionality can evoke a more exhilarating effect.
  • Moreover, octave lines, as observed in measures 57-64, are prone to sounding rigid. Therefore, endeavor to perform them smoothly and elegantly by moderating the volume and incorporating a minimal amount of pedal.
