The aim is to create two distinct moods by clearly contrasting instruments playing in the low register with those playing in the high register.

The Minuet should be assigned to the high register, and the Trio to the low register. The Minuet should be performed with vivacity, lightness, and joy. Consequently, quarter notes may be played staccato or with a staccato-like articulation.

Conversely, in the Trio, while the quarter notes in the accompaniment (left hand) may be staccato, the melody should be rendered with a smooth, legato melodic line, reminiscent of a viola or similar instrument.

Although measures 1 and 2 in the Minuet section are identical, an attempt should be made to differentiate between them.
