Points to Note

There are two points to note:

1. The Theme and its Modulations

First, regarding the theme, it modulates through as many as five keys within this short piece: C major, A minor, G major, D minor, and E minor. Please vary the color (timbre/expression) for each key.

2. Imagining the Orchestra

Second, rather than isolating only the sections where the voices are clearly separated, I would like you to use your imagination to build an orchestra. For example, from measures 3 to 9, it appears to be written in two voices, but if you follow the right hand from the first beat of measure 3, the notes up to A on the downbeat of the third beat should be considered one instrument, and the subsequent CHCACHC should be considered a different instrument (and so on).

Even in sections where the voices are clearly separated, caution is advised. For instance, in measure 14, I imagine different instruments are used for the first two beats compared to the third and fourth beats. The third and fourth beats feel volumetrically larger than the first two beats. In this way, please consider various orchestrations depending on the situation.
