Final Movement

This final movement is a very optimistic movement, but it also includes toccata-like elements. Let's organize the sections, which are divided by the piece's repeats, into a first half and a second half.

First Half

Let's take the first half as an example.

Consider a break at measure 5. Since the first 5 measures are in G major, starting pp is acceptable. Alternatively, you may consider two sections: measures 1 to 3, beat 2, and measures 3, beat 3 to 5, beat 3, contrasting one with forte and the other with piano.

Measures 6-10 are similar to measures 1-5, but they modulate to D major. If you perceive this section as having higher tension, play it louder. The opposite approach is also acceptable. In any case, avoid playing the G major and D major sections with the same volume and timbre.

From measure 11, an ascending sequence in one-measure units begins, so reduce the volume at measure 11 once, then crescendo towards measures 14-15, which are the peak points of the first half. At measure 18, reduce to p again, and from there, try to build towards measure 22.

Second Half

Please analyze the second half in the same manner.
