This piece depicts a lively ballroom scene, combining festive splendor with lightheartedness. The diversity of musical figures and rhythms is the charm of this piece, with a clear contrast between staccato and legato being particularly evident. By performing at a moderate, unhurried tempo, the musical coherence and the atmosphere of the ballroom are naturally conveyed. The form is A-B-A-C-A Rondo.
When performing, it is advisable to imagine a string ensemble. For the first beat of the opening, aim for a rich, tutti-like sound, while the subsequent sixteenth notes should be played with a light, flowing expression, like violins. By envisioning the role of each instrument within an ensemble in this way, the character of each sound becomes clear, leading to a more expressive performance.
It is important to carefully articulate according to the musical figures and rhythms of each section. By maintaining a festive mood throughout the piece while subtly differentiating the changes in each scene, the splendor and vibrancy of the ballroom can be effectively conveyed through the music.
