As this is an Italian-style Corrente, it should be performed at a brisk tempo. Key to this Corrente are conveying a lively character and dynamic variations. The score features numerous sixteenth notes and dotted eighth note plus sixteenth note rhythms.
In this dotted eighth note plus sixteenth note rhythm, by placing a slight accent on the beat (on the dotted eighth note), it creates clarity and definition, allowing the listener to clearly perceive the beat. While the perception of the beat is not inherently difficult in this piece, adding accents to these rhythmic figures makes it even clearer and more sprightly.
In the first half, starting from measure 5, through four ascending sequences, the music reaches measure 8, attaining the highest note C of the first half. Up to this point, a crescendo should generally be applied. From there, it then descends via a descending sequence to measure 13. A diminuendo should generally be applied.
The double trill in measure 17 should be played by both hands as fast as possible. Similarly, analyze the latter half and determine the dynamics accordingly.
