This sarabande requires improvisational elements. Its charm emerges from arpeggiating chords and improvising trills. Midway, it modulates to F-sharp minor through a sequence. The texture thickens, and the hands spread out, revealing a dramatic aspect (measures 11-16).

From here on, this is a personal opinion: the author plays this sarabande carefully to avoid an excessively slow tempo, as playing it too slowly tends to make it drag and obscure the melodic line. Please consider this as one perspective.
