First, it is important to remember that this piece is considered to have an instrumental background, rather than operatic or vocal elements. Therefore, it is essential for the performer to first listen to Mozart's orchestral works. Listen thoroughly to his symphonies and other orchestral compositions. Then, when transcribing them into a piano piece like this one, try to imagine the orchestra and, in consultation with your teacher, assign instruments to different parts. This will help you understand that a greater number of notes does not necessarily equate to a louder volume, and it will also clarify which sections are tutti and which are solo.

For example, in the development section, although measures 41-42 have more notes than measures 39-40, it becomes clear that measures 39-40 are tutti, while measures 41-42 represent a smaller ensemble group.

The overall mood of the piece is extremely optimistic, resembling that of an operatic overture. Play it lightly and joyfully, ensuring it never becomes heavy.
