There are two primary considerations in this final movement:
- One concerns the thumb (finger 1): The right hand's thumb is responsible for sustaining notes that appear in this movement. For instance, in the right hand from measures 19-21, the sustained note C is played by the thumb, which tends to result in an increased volume. When encountering such passages, avoid applying excessive force with the thumb and instead emphasize the outer voices.
- Another challenge in this piece lies in the treatment of sequences. For example, from measures 5-12, there are four sequences, each two measures long. It is crucial to avoid playing these flatly. In this particular example, the sequences are descending. Whether ascending or descending, dynamics should be determined with foresight; since the piece transitions to F major from measure 15, it would be appropriate to apply a gradual diminuendo to the sequences from measures 5-12. While it is very challenging to apply four distinct dynamic levels to four sequences, even approaching them with such an intention can help avoid flatness. Not limited to this section, this piece features numerous sequences; therefore, adjust dynamics according to the context to prevent a monotonous performance.
