This sonata incorporates ensemble elements. The opening indication "Non Presto" suggests a tempo that is not too fast, i.e., a calm tempo, to be played with a certain sense of dignity. However, the piece is fundamentally optimistic and features numerous "interplays.

This sonata contains a wealth of thematic material. For instance, measures 1-4 present the main theme, but only a portion of this theme may be extracted, or the extracted material may be combined with other themes. For example, the descending octave in thirds from the third beat of measure 19 to the first beat of measure 20 is marked forte in the composer's score. As this material resembles a large ensemble or tutti, it should be played loudly. However, the passage from the second to third beat of measure 20 should be conceived as a different instrument and played pianissimo. In this way, try to "orchestrate" each passage according to its material, determining the volume and timbre of each element, and imbuing each with appropriate expression. Then, perform the piece accordingly.
