Tempo might be a critical consideration. The right-hand sixteenth notes from measures 29-35 in this movement are quite challenging, and the initial question is whether one can physically play them. However, even if one can, it must be considered whether that execution matches the mood of this third movement. In this Piano Encyclopedia, several teachers have demonstrated this third movement, and their tempi vary. What is certain is that the tempo should be set to one consistent speed and maintained at the same tempo as the beginning throughout.

Considering the inherent difficulty of the right hand in measures 29-35, please determine a basic tempo that allows for effortless execution of this section while also aligning with the overall mood. Even if the chosen tempo is fast, it poses no problem as long as the playing remains light and unheavy.

Regarding the right-hand ornamentation that appears in measure 10, it is common to take the first E-flat (Es) with finger 3, followed by the fingering 4-3-2-3-5 for F-E-flat-D-E-flat-G. While this is also quite challenging, an alternative option that might be easier is to take the initial E-flat (Es) with finger 2, and use the fingering 3-2-1-2-4 for F-E-flat-D-E-flat-G. Please experiment with this.
