First Movement: Moderato, A-flat major, 2/2 time. Sonata form.

It begins with a clear and resolute dotted rhythm. This motif of the first theme functions effectively throughout the entire movement, being used, for instance, in a cascading manner even in the second theme. In the development section, the tension is continuously heightened through repeated modulations using material from the transition section. And then, in the last three measures, it slowly concludes with an Adagio indication and the effective use of a fermata, finally leading into the recapitulation.

This is the first movement, full of Haydn's playfulness. Please play it joyfully and vividly. For each section, try to imagine the psychological depiction.

Measures 1-11: This section is joyful, dignified, and full of humor. Be careful not to make the dotted rhythms too sweet.
Measures 12-20: This section is filled with exciting anticipation. Express it through dynamic contrasts. Build up the tension until measure 16, then suddenly play dolce from measure 17.
Measures 20-27: This section sees a significant increase in tension. As the sequence ascends, gradually increase the volume.
Measures 28-34: This section should be sung expressively; it's a part where a slightly Romantic approach is acceptable. Imagine it as a beautiful female voice singing.
Measures 35-55: This section tells an exciting story once again. From measure 41, the right hand plays double stops, so it can be thought of as a duet.

These are merely examples, but please imagine the scene for each section and construct the music accordingly.
