Instead of performance tips, let's first discuss common pitfalls: these occur when the performance is too calm, subdued, quiet, or slow, or a combination of these elements. A slow tempo, in particular, is fatal for this piece.

If the author were to assign a tempo marking to this piece, it would undoubtedly be molto vivace. That is how much vitality this piece requires.

The melody line is characterized by a prevalence of arpeggios over scales, a wide range of pitches, and very high tension. When choosing a tempo, one must select a speed at which numerous ornaments can be played without difficulty; among these, the fastest possible tempo is particularly recommended. Remembering that it is in 2/2 time, feeling the beat in two will naturally increase the tempo.

The mood is optimistic and joyful, devoid of any serious emotions. Consider it a recreation of an exhilarating psychological state, to the point of being unable to remain calm.
