This Minuet, too, despite being in E-flat major, is written in keys in its first half that do not suggest its tonic. Measures 1-4, with the appearance of D-flat, strongly give the impression of A-flat major, while measures 5-8, with A natural, impress B-flat major. Measures 9-12 are a sequence, and it is not until measures 13-16 that E-flat major is finally confirmed.

Please vary the dynamics and tone quality according to the key.

The tempo is that of a Minuet, so it is by no means fast. Therefore, I believe long trills are appropriate, including the right-hand trill in measures 3 (beats 1-2) and 4 (beat 1).

As this Minuet also desires a slightly elegant atmosphere, the articulation should be light to bring out its grace.
