While instrumental elements can be felt, rather, imagine a lively conversation. It's an image of cheerful, yet dignified and refined gentlemen exchanging quick jokes.

Therefore, the entire movement must be light and agile, and creative articulation might prove effective.

For instance, in measure 6, the three 16th notes in the left hand could be played staccato instead of legato; the eighth notes in measures 8-11 also staccato; and the arpeggiated chords (16th notes) in measures 16-19 could also be staccato to enhance the sense of joy and lightness.

In measures 15-16, where octaves appear, it's as if two people, previously disagreeing in their conversation, have finally found common ground.

The piece modulates to G major and A minor in the development section. Each time the key changes, imagine the topic of conversation shifting, viewing it as an argument between the two. Consider it from a dramatic perspective.
