This Allegro is composed using fugal technique, so the primary task is to prioritize bringing out the theme. The theme modulates to many keys; endeavor to vary the expression and character according to each key.

Sections where the theme is absent generally consist of sequences. In these instances, consider the nature of the chords used, the pitch range, and the target tonality, striving to imbue them with expression and avoid flatness.

Furthermore, in this Allegro, triplets appear at measure 40, and 32nd notes appear from measure 74 to the end. Regardless of how the rhythm changes, it is desirable to consistently maintain (and perceive) the sense of 2/2 time.

It is crucial not to alter the tempo even when triplets appear, to proceed while grasping (and feeling) the duple meter, and not to change the tempo even when 32nd notes appear. However, as an exception, you may slightly decrease the tempo only for the final two measures.
