This Courante, like the Allemande from the same HWV 439, should be conceived as music that flows horizontally. While the 3/4 meter is certainly kept in mind, care should be taken to avoid a rigid, vertical division. For instance, in measure 23, where the left hand first appears with a chord, there is a tendency to emphasize the beat; therefore, the left hand should be played with a gentle touch.

This Courante, similar to the preceding Allemande, cannot be segmented into standard 4-measure or 8-measure units. Consequently, sections should be delineated flexibly. For example, divisions can be made based on sequences or cadential forms, such as measures 1-7, 7-12, 13-17, 18-22, 23-29, and 30-37.

In both the first and second halves, B serves as the highest note (measure 41 in the first half, measure 91 in the second half), and building tension towards this note creates a natural flow.
