Consider what impression the key of G major in Bach's works holds for you. This will influence the atmosphere of the piece. Try to grasp the mood and character of Bach's G major in works such as the Inventions, Sinfonias, French Suites, and The Well-Tempered Clavier.

The author's perception of Bach's G major is one of great optimism, yet with a certain refined joy, rather than the strong character of F major; it feels somewhat more delicate. Therefore, articulate eighth notes with staccato to create lightness, and choose a tempo that is not overly fast, one that avoids a sense of hurriedness.

In this piece as well, when the theme (subject) appears, prioritize making it audible. Sections other than the theme are sequential; utilize these sequences to introduce dynamic variations.

Along the way, the piece modulates to keys such as D major, E minor, and C major; try to alter the mood and dynamics with each modulation.
